This delightful jewellery taster workshop introduces learners to the exciting material of copper metal clay. Metal clay begins as a soft, mouldable clay that transforms into solid metal once fired.
Metal clay was first developed in Japan in the 1990s as a way of working with precious metals in a clay-like form. The material is made from fine metal particles combined with an organic binder and water, allowing it to be shaped and textured like clay before being fired to reveal solid metal.
During this fun and creative session, learners will explore shaping, texturing and designing small decorative charms that can be used as pendants or jewellery components. The workshop provides an enjoyable introduction to jewellery making while exploring the fascinating process of turning clay into metal.
This course is designed as a relaxed and inspiring taster session for anyone curious about jewellery making or creative crafts and wanting to try something new.
