What you'll do
In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore the alchemy of silver clay and silicone putty to create your own mould from a special object of your choice (leaves, shells, stone, sentimental objects, etc.). Using your mould, you’ll cast your object into silver clay and turn it into a unique piece of wearable art—either a pendant or a pair of earrings.You'll get to experience the full transformation process on-site, including firing and polishing, watching your soft clay piece become solid fine silver magic! After the session, your finished jewellery will be ready to take home within approximately 2–3 hours, or the following day, depending on the firing schedule.Private group bookings (minimum 8 people) are welcome!
