This event will be half social chats with a bunch of like minded queer people and half fun, educational and interactive workshop.
Silver Clay is an interesting material for silver jewellery making. It's a pliable clay with powdered silver through it, meaning the clay can be sculpted into unique shapes and designs. The silver clay is then fired in a kiln and the clay component burns away leaving your creation as solid silver!

In this fun hands-on class we'll be using Silver Clay to create mini silver charms. We'll be firing our silver clay in a microwave kiln during class, so you'll learn all about microwave kilns as well!

What will we cover?

In this class you will learn:

How to work with Silver Clay - techniques and tools
Basic sculpting for wearable jewellery
Embossing and mark making
How to fire the silver clay in a microwave kiln
Polishing and filing our fired silver charms
Ideas for other silver clay projects
