Private workshops can be held in my home in Fowey or I can come to you as a workshop on wheels service

*Silver clay is £18 per 7g.
*SPECIAL PACKAGE*
I offer a special package price which costs £185 for a half day workshop for two people.
This includes all materials (5g silver clay, silver fixings, a chain or ear wires) and prosecco/non-alcoholic alternative.
This is a beginner's workshop lasting 3 hours where people can make their own bespoke fine silver pendant or drop earrings taking textures from real leaves, or texture sheets. If you are buying this as a gift - please email me and I can make a a pdf gift voucher for you to gift.
Minimum age: 12 (under 18s must be accompanied by a participating adult)
I can also include spot plating with 24K gold in my workshops (however, extra time will need to be allowed for this and if making pieces from scratch for the first time and I recommend covering this in a full day workshop). This would be an additional £10-15 per item to cover the 24K gold.
