Workshop Details

Join us for a magical workshop with the lovely Nick Wellband when well be making starfish pendants with silver clay. Date: Wednesday 30th April Time: 10am - 2:30pm Cost: £120 Venue: Stonegate Farm , 12 Egmere Road, Walsingham. NR22 6BS I am really excited to offer this new Silver Clay Jewellery workshop at Reef Make & Do with Nicky Wellband who has been working in silver and other metals for over 25 years. 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, acorns, seed heads and, in this particular workshop, starfish 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.
