From Silver Clay to Sea Glass to Felting



Focusing mainly on metal clay, you can learn how to make your own silver jewellery at home. It is true alchemy taking a clay like material and turning it into beautiful silver jewellery which is of hallmark-able quality.

Take a look through our wide range of workshops, from beginners to advanced, where you can learn how to use the clay and make your jewellery and then how to add gemstones, glass, gold and resin. From half day taster sessions to 3 day workshops or private one-to-one sessions, there is something for everyone.

You can go on to expand your skills on more advanced courses or do a Camp PMC or Art Clay Diploma qualification course enabling you to improve your skills and benefit from discount on silver clay.
