Description

Have you ever wanted to create a unique piece of jewellery? Come and enjoy a relaxing day in the Craft Barn creating your very own jewellery from Art Clay Silver at our 'capturing nature' workshop. Learn how to preserve the beauty of nature's finest details in solid silver. Join senior silver clay instructor Jo Richards of Faye Benjamin Jewellery for this inspiring silver jewellery workshop. Using silicone moulds and direct imprinting into the silver clay, you will create your own unique jewellery that will last forever. What you will learn: • Design ideas and considerations. • Introduction to tools and equipment. • How to create a silicone mould. • How to imprint a leaf directly into the silver clay. • Drying, sanding and refining. • Firing. • Polishing and finishing. • How to attach jump rings and earwires. Your work will be fired and finished during the session so you can wear your creation(s!) home with pride! Additional clay, starter kits and jewellery findings can be purchased during the day. No previous experience is required. Note: working with silver clay is generally very safe. However, please take note of the following requirements for the day: - Long hair must be tied back. - Don’t wear trailing scarves or anything fluffy as they are attracted to clay! - Wear closed-toe sturdy shoes. Tutor biography: Jo has been studying, designing, making and selling jewellery for over 25 years. She loves what she does, and sharing her passion for silver clay makes her truly happy. NOTE: The Craft Barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails and may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues.

Crafting in the Cotswolds – what’s not to love? Lechlade Craft Barn offers craft workshops in the pretty Cotswolds market town of Lechlade on Thames. The Craft Barn is an attractive old stone barn at Karen's home and is the perfect setting to discover and develop your crafting skills. Owner Karen has a long-held passion for crafting, with backgrounds in retail and event management. Along with her workshops, she is joined by a talented team of guest tutors who offer a wide range of craft workshops. The barn is accessed via external stone steps with handrails on either side and unfortunately may not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues. Some workshops are delivered nearby in the bright and spacious Memorial Hall complex and other local venues. In addition to published workshops, we also offer bespoke Crafty Parties for Hens, groups of friends and family, special occasions, or any excuse to have a crafty day.
