Silver clay looks and feels just like regular clay - it can be rolled, moulded, textured and cut into shapes. It’s made from millions of tiny particles of pure silver, combined with a non-toxic organic binder and water and once it’s fired (either with a torch or in a kiln), the binder burns away, leaving behind beautiful solid silver jewellery. Just like magic!

In my silver clay classes, you’ll learn how to roll, shape, texture, cut, embed gemstones, dry, refine, fire and polish your silver clay pieces. One of the best things about silver clay is that you can roll it up and start again so it's easy to experiment with new designs without worrying about wasting clay.

Silver clay is ideal for making jewellery at home - it's clean, simple to use, and doesn’t require a lot of tools or space. With just a few basic supplies and practice, you can learn how make professional looking jewellery right from your kitchen table. It’s a relaxing and rewarding hobby, whether you’d like to make meaningful gifts for friends and family or even start selling your creations!

I run in-person classes from my jewellery studio in Cornhill on Tweed (north Northumberland) and I also offer an online silver clay course for beginners and beyond.

It’s always amazing to see what can be created in just a few hours! These beautiful pieces were all made by complete beginners during my silver clay classes. With a little guidance, each student designed and crafted their own unique jewellery to take home.

If you're looking for design inspiration or if you're thinking about doing one of my classes, have a look through these beautiful pieces.
