Start your silver clay journey in the comfort of your own home at a time that suits you. Live online sessions with Rachel give you all the help and support that you need without having to travel. The kit provided ensures that you'll not only have everything you need for the course but to be able to carry on afterwards too. Book your online session on a full day or split it up over a couple of evenings. Please allow 7-10 days for delivery of your kit.
Explore different techniques including rolling and cutting the clay, as well as making and using moulds. You will learn how to prepare the clay, fire and polish. With a wide range of jewellery options there's something for everyone. This lovely process allows you to be creative in an accessible way, so anyone can do it! Use treasures from your life as inspiration (or even to make your moulds) or just allow the process to guide you. Depending on your designs and your choice of size you will make 4-6 pieces of silver.
What you will need: A clean, safe place to work when using the provided blow torch on the provided heat mat. A mirror, a small quantity of olive oil in a pot, pliers if you have them (but don't worry if not). Somewhere to dry the clay pieces before firing: a hot radiator, a hot plate, a dehumidifier, a hair dryer or a dehydrator. A device with a large enough screen to view the tutorials and the ability to play sound.
