Join me on a day-long creative workshop on Saturday 23rd July to make truly beautiful intricately-detailed silver jewellery, spend time in my flower-filled wildlife garden and the nearby woodland featured in my best selling book The Wild Remedy, learn how creative activity and contact with nature shift our brain chemistry to improve mental health and how to incorporate craft into your routine to alleviate stress and work more efficiently. Oh, and there’ll be lunch, lots of cake, discount codes for buying your own silver clay kit and a goody bag.
All pieces shown in the images were made b beginners on my previous face to face workshops
Silver clay is a wonderful ceramic originally invented for use in the electronics industry and made from fine particles of silver recycled from old electrical devices along with rice starch and water. On this day long workshop I’ll teach you how to use the clay to cast
You can read my full bio here and I’ve taught this technique on BBC Countryfile, at The Victoria and Albert museum, Cambridge University Botanic Gardens, Highgrove and Daylesford Farms.
All the materials and tools you’ll need will be provided, including enough silver clay to create 2 sizeable pendants or equivalent smaller pieces.
