Learn the art of fine silver jewellery making, using the alchemy of silver clay, combined traditional silversmithing techniques to solder silver posts to the back. Take inspiration from the textures found in nature to make beautiful and truly unique stud earrings or a set with a pendant and matching earrings. With no more than 4 people in this class, all skill levels are catered for, and you’ll get as much guidance as you need.
Silver clay is a relatively new product that can be worked like clay and yet is made of pure silver particles, with a binder and water. When it is fired the result is a pure silver piece which is of fine silver hallmark quality.
This is a small class is held in Rebecca Oxenham's jewellery making studio with a maximum of 4 attendees to allow for lots of individual attention. At the end of the day you will celebrate with a glass of Prosecco or non alcoholic alternative.
This course is suitable for learners with no previous knowledge of working with silver clay or those with experience with other forms of jewellery making. It is also suitable for those with no experience yet of crafts or creative activities. Most important is a desire to learn and experiment with the materials.
Itinerary
You’ll spend the morning learning about silver clay, designing your piece, texturing, filing and sanding then leaving it to dry, and firing your pieces before eating your picnic. In the afternoon, you will learn to solder, and polish your earrings.
10.00 Arrival with tea or coffee we will introduce ourselves, discuss the itinerary and have a look and talk through the examples of jewellery that can be made.
10.30 Students are talked through the tools in the studio and told a bit about the history of silver clay, its eco-friendly properties, shrinkage and how it all works. The tutor demonstrates what to look for when creating replica leaf jewellery and which types of leaves are best and does a demonstration of how to use moulds of acorns or shells.
11.00 students then start working on their own designs, from rough sketching and making models before starting work crafting their own designs.
13.00 The pieces will be dried before students learn to fire their pieces using a gas torch. This is the magical bit where the clay like substance transforms to 99.9% fine silver. After firing, a wire brush is used to brush off the white clay binder residue revealing the solid fine silver beneath.
13.30 Students break for lunch
14.30 Students learn to solder silver posts to the backs of their pieces and polish their pieces.
15.30 - 16.00 Students finish off with a glass of prosecco or non-alcoholic alternative while they admire everyone’s jewellery made in the class. Students leave for the day.

Hello, my name is Rebecca, and I am the designer and maker behind Rebecca Oxenham Jewellery.
I use the beauty of nature to give inspiration for my jewellery making, which I'm delighted to share with you! Nature is my therapy; it is where I feel calm and it is always my kind friend. I love nothing more than to be out in the countryside or by the sea, walking my dog and enjoying the beautiful scenery around me. I find myself collecting shells, bark, leaves and other organic items I discover along the way and come home with pockets bulging – just like a child!
To share my passion for jewellery making, I run beginners’ silver clay jewellery making workshops and have designed a beautiful kit for people to make their own jewellery using silver clay at home. Whether you want to try a new hobby as a couple, host a hen party with a difference or just learn how to make silver jewellery in the comfort of your own home, I look forward to sharing the joy of creativity with you.
