Silver-clay: A Jewellery Making Experience
Fringe award-winning jewellery workshop returns! Join artist Shirley Wu to explore silver-clay — a soft material that transforms into fine silver when fired. Create your own piece in 3 sessions:
20 FEB–22 MAR Organic Ring with Stone: Hand-form a personalised silver ring and set heat-safe stones such as cubic zirconia.
29 FEB Casting Nature into Jewellery: Bring along leaves, shells, fossils or found objects and learn to capture their textures into a pendant or earrings.
8 MAR Silver Origami Jewellery: Explore delicate paper-folding techniques in silver-clay to create intricate earrings or pendant.
No experience needed. Each piece is kiln-fired and polished at Shirley’s CBD studio and ready for pickup within 3–5 working days. Extra silver-clay available for larger designs.
Please bring your reading glasses for delicate stone setting. If you are making a ring for your loved one, please bring one of their rings for measurement. Extra silver-clay is available for larger jewellery pieces.
