Precious metal clay is an exciting and very flexible mixture of silver powder, water and organic binder. It has a consistency like clay but when fired, the water and binder burn off and your creation appears with its original shape and texture.

In this introductory course with Kelly Yates, you will learn the basics of working with the silver clay, including shaping, forming, decoration and firing.

You will be able to make up to three items and extra materials will be available to buy if you want to do more.

"Fantastic - an amazing three days!" Feedback from a student on a previous Precious Metal Clay course.
