Once it’s fired (either with a torch or in a kiln), the binder burns away, leaving behind solid, beautiful silver. Just like magic!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIn this class, you’ll learn how to roll, shape, texture, cut, embed gemstones, dry, refine, fire and polish your silver clay pieces. You can also add a patina to bring out detail and give your piece that extra bit of character. There are class samples for you to look at for inspiration or you’re welcome to bring along your own ideas. While it’s not always possible to make your designs exactly, I’ll do my best to help you get as close to your vision as we can on the day!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIf you'd like to see what other students have made in my silver clay classes, you can look at their work \u003ca title=\"Silver Clay Design Inspiration\" href=\"https:\/\/maggiereadjewellery.co.uk\/pages\/silver-clay-design-inspiration\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.

As a guide, 10g is usually enough to make a medium-sized pendant and a matching pair of earrings with enough clay left over to make a couple of small charms. You’ll also get 3 gemstones, silver jump rings and 1 pair of sterling silver ear wires. A selection of chains are available to purchase along with extra gemstones and ear wires.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: _Hlk197685760;\"\u003eJewellery making classes are kept small—just six people—to make sure there’s plenty of one-to-one support and time for questions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: _Hlk197685760;\"\u003eAt the end of the workshop, you’ll leave with your very own finished pieces—ready to wear or gift to someone special.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bookmark: _Hlk197685760;\"\u003eSilver clay is an exciting technique to learn, especially if you'd like to continue creating from home.
