Description

Come and learn within a four hour workshop, how to make a unique piece of jewellery that will be yours to keep. PMC stands for precious metal clay which is the main ingredient used and can be hallmarked. The substance looks like clay but is in fact finely ground pure silver which, when fired, burns off other materials to revert to silver. This flexible material can be combined with other metals, glass and ceramics. After an introduction and demonstration of tools and equipment, the qualified tutor will teach you how to roll, texture and cut the PMC then go on to refine, fire and polish the pendant you have created. You will even be given a silver chain on which to hang your unique design.

Availability: One date per month throughout the year. Weather: Duration: The experience starts at 10am and ends at 4pm (including a one hour lunch break).
