Workshop Details

Join us for another creative day with Nick Wellband creating silver clay pendants. Date: Friday 26th September Time: 10am - 2:30pm Cost: £120 Venue: Stonegate Farm , 12 Egmere Road, Walsingham,. I am really excited to offer this new Silver Clay Jewellery workshop at Reef Make & Do with Nick Wellband who has been working in silver and other metals for over 25 years. In this exciting workshop we will be making silver acorns, berries or seed-head prints. Nick was so fascinated by the alchemy of silver clay that she now teaches this in these magical workshops using her favourite items from nature: leaves, sea shells , star fish and, in this particular workshop, acorns, berries or seed-head prints, turning them in to stunning pieces of wearable jewellery. Nick will bring a huge selection of beaded and silver necklaces as well as findings for earrings and pendants so that you go home with a complete finished piece of jewellery . You will each be given a 7mg packet of silver clay for your chosen creations. You will be provided with materials to create one necklace with a pendant or one pair of earrings with two smaller pendants. If you wish to make something a bit bigger* / more than one then additional clay will be available to purchase on the day. Similarly, there will be an additional cost for materials if you wish to make more than one necklace/ pair of earrings. Nicky's workshops are open to everyone with no with previous experience required. Nicky will guide you though every step of the process of creating jewellery in silver clay as it is worked from basic paste or clay, moulding, refining, firing, cleaning and polishing to create a finished piece of 999 fine silver. Come and join us for this fabulous day. * Please note that bigger* may not always be possible. Sometimes, due to the delicacy of an item, bigger means the clay is too heavy and can crack. We have experienced this in workshops and so this will be at Nick's discretion so as to avoid disappointment.
