Learn to create a perfect replica of a real leaf in delicate solid silver to make earrings, pendants and charms. As unique as nature is, each piece will be completely unique to you.

Choose a leaf from a selection provided or bring a few along with you. If bringing your own leaves, please bring a variety as some leaves may not be suitable.

Each workshop has a specific project that teaches you the step by step skills which you can build on. If you are looking work on a specific project Open Studio Sessions would be a better fit.

What a wonderful experience and in such a lovely studio. I have worked with Silver clay before, but not like this. It was good fun Thanks for a great class Arden

We all really enjoyed our silver leaves experience. My daughter now has the silver jewellery making bug for sure. I’m sure we will come again for another class- Arden was a friendly and helpful tutor 😊

Absolutely loved this class. Very relaxing and therapeutic painting the leaves then the magic happens in the kiln and you have beautiful silver leaves. The detail is amazing.
