THE COMPLETE SILVER CLAY HOB-FIRING JEWELLERY KIT
 
More than a starter kit: a complete, expert-led jewellery course in a box. Create genuine fine silver jewellery at home using a suitable domestic gas hob, specialist precision tools and five beautifully illustrated guides—no kiln, handheld torch or previous jewellery-making experience required.
 
AN ACCESSIBLE WAY TO CREATE FINE SILVER JEWELLERY AT HOME
Discover the magic of transforming soft, tactile silver clay into beautiful fine silver jewellery using something you may already have in your kitchen: a domestic gas hob.
Hob firing is one of the most accessible ways to begin working with silver clay. There is no need to invest in a kiln or purchase and refill a separate handheld torch.
Thoughtfully designed by artist-jeweller and experienced silver clay tutor Rebecca Oxenham, this beautifully presented kit brings together genuine Art Clay Silver, reusable jewellery-making tools, specialist firing equipment and detailed expert guidance.
Silver clay can be rolled, shaped, textured and refined while soft. During firing, its organic binder burns away to leave behind a solid piece of fine silver.
Rebecca’s downloadable guides take you through the process with clear instructions, detailed colour photographs and practical tips developed through years of teaching complete beginners.

WHAT MAKES THIS KIT DIFFERENT?
Designed by experienced silver clay tutor Rebecca Oxenham
Two-part 310 stainless-steel hob-firing system with a stable base mesh and protective cage
Eight-piece micro cutter system for jump rings and accurate jewellery connections
Three micro needle files for precision refining
Premium silicone moulding compound for capturing exceptionally fine details
Three complete jewellery projects plus two specialist expert guides
Printed quick-start card providing easy access to all five downloadable guides
 
SPECIALIST HOB-FIRING MESH AND PROTECTIVE CAGE
The kit includes a reusable, two-part firing system made from heat-resistant 310 stainless steel.
The coarse mesh measures approximately 15 × 15cm and creates a strong, stable firing platform over a suitable gas burner while allowing heat to circulate around your silver clay.
The finer mesh forms a protective cage that is placed over your piece during firing. It helps keep lightweight pieces securely contained and provides an additional layer of protection if any remaining moisture causes the clay to pop or move.
 
Although both meshes are made from the same durable material, their different aperture sizes allow each one to perform a specific role.
 
Together with Rebecca’s Expert Guide to Hob Firing, they provide a straightforward, reusable firing system designed to help beginners approach hob firing with greater confidence.

Use selected cutters together to create your own silver clay jump rings or make accurately sized openings for attaching ready-made jump rings after the clay has shrunk during firing.
The included Silver Clay Jump Rings Made Easy guide also teaches you how to create:
Handmade silver clay jump rings
Precision openings for ready-made jump rings

CAPTURE BEAUTIFULLY FINE DETAILS
The premium silicone moulding compound captures exceptionally fine textures from leaves, flowers, bark, acorns and other small objects.
Simply mix equal quantities of the two putties until the colour is even. The compound cures in approximately 20 minutes and remains flexible, helping your silver clay release easily from the finished mould.
Enough compound is supplied to create one or two small moulds, depending on their size. Once made, your moulds can be used again and again.
 
If you do not have access to a suitable gas burner, please choose the Torch-Firing Jewellery Kit, which includes the specialist equipment needed to fire suitable silver clay pieces with a butane jeweller’s torch.
