Discover the Art of Silversmithing with Pepper Tree Studio

Join Richard Allen, an expert metal clay artist, for an exciting introduction to the world of silver clay. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn the essential techniques to create your very own handcrafted jewellery to take home. Whether you’re completely new to the craft or looking to try something different, this beginner-friendly class will guide you every step of the way. Start by crafting a textured charm or pendant, and gain confidence as you shape, refine, and fire your designs.

What to expect:

  • Learn how to handle and store silver clay
  • Roll out the clay for a smooth, even finish
  • Add textures and create unique shapes
  • Use moulding compound to create detailed moulds
  • Join components and refine your pieces
  • Safely fire your creations with a Butane torch (for participants aged 16+)
  • Polish and finish your jewellery to perfection
  • Add patina to highlight intricate details

By the end of the session, you’ll leave with your beautifully crafted jewellery, presented in a charming gift box. For those eager to continue their silver clay journey, there are advanced workshops available, or you can purchase a Silver Clay kit to experiment with at home.

Who is this workshop for? This workshop is designed for complete beginners—no prior experience is necessary! If you’ve always wanted to try your hand at working with silver clay, this is the perfect starting point.

What’s included?

  • 7g of silver clay (enough to make 2-3 pieces of jewellery)
  • A standard chain, bail, and ear hooks if making earrings
  • All tools and materials
  • Your finished jewellery, ready to wear or take home in a jewellery box
