Let your imagination run wild with this introduction to the magic medium of silver clay! This exciting class will introduce you to the tools used, basic techniques including torch firing and kiln firing, and finishing to transform silver clay into whatever your imagination (and skills ) will allow.

We’ll give you a whopping 10g of silver clay to work with, where you’ll have the opportunity to play with texture, shape, and 3D creations. Should you get carried away there will be the opportunity to buy more clay on the day. I mean, why wouldn’t you?

Silver Clay was developed by Mitsubishi Materials. Using fine silver dust an organic binder alongside water, they produced a clay like material which is very easy to manipulate and is perfect for producing organic textures and form. The water evaporates during drying, the organic binder burns away during firing which, in turn, leaves pure silver [we think it’s witchcraft].
