This beginners class is for anyone who is new to working with metal clay and would like to spend an exciting day experimenting and learning new techniques.

Metal clay is a clay based substance containing millions of tiny silver particles. When you fire the clay under a torch or in a kiln all of the clay burns away and you are left with solid silver - its like magic!

One of the great advantages to working in metal clay is that it is relatively easy to continue working at home after the class without a big investment as you don't need many tools or equipment.

Techniques covered in this class include:
- Rolling out the clay to a consistent thickness
- Texturing and cutting out shapes
- Sanding, polishing and drilling
- Torch firing and basics of kiln firing
- Basic stone setting
- Adding multiple layers of clay
and much more.

We generally follow three projects throughout the day which include:
- A small stone set pendant.
- A pair of earrings.
- A simple wrap over ring.

However there is also lots of flexibility in terms of design and experimentation. By the end of the day you should have enough skills to go away and start making things from home. All materials are included in the class as well as full class notes. There will be the opportunity to buy extra clay if you need it and we also have tool kits for sale.

- A simple rub over setting, which involves creating a bezel and encasing a cabochon-shaped stone. This is a key technique for setting stones and is very useful to add to your repertoire of skills as it allows you to set a range of natural stones in a range of sizes.
- A tube setting, a simple yet effective technique for neatly setting usually small stones into silver tube. A great contrast to the rub over setting and adds a new dimension to your jewellery.
- Flush setting or gypsy setting, a neat way of setting your stones into the metal, which still allows a flat finish to the piece so that your stone is well protected and again this adds a new design element to your pieces.

During the course the tutor will also be taking about the qualities of different popular stones and considerations when setting them.

Learn to make your own textures from pictures, print outs and much more!

This is a great class where our expert tutor Julia Rai will guide you through a range of processes for making your own texture tiles and plates. Perfect for use with metal clay, polymer clay and many areas of jewellery making.
