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. It is ideal to look for leaves that have veins and detail on the back for example Oak, Beech, Strawberry, Maple etc. Unsuitable leaves are ones with a smooth, waxy or furry surface for example Ivy, Holly…

ARE MATERIALS INCLUDED? WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING OR WEAR?

All tools are provided except for the silver to make your leaves. The silver required can be bought on the day, payment by cash or card. Material cost is based on weight of your finished pieces. You are able to make as many leaves as time allows. As a rough guide approximately £3 of silver is required for a small leaf to £10 for a large leaf.

CAN I MAKE A SPECIFIC PIECE OF JEWELLERY I HAVE IN MIND DURING A WORKSHOP?

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. If in doubt please don’t hesitate to get in touch. If you are looking to make something specific with advanced skills that isn’t covered in one of the workshops private tuition may be the best way to go.

Izabella, Rebekah & Belle - 20 October 2021

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 😊

Angela Fraser - 14 October 2021

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.

Karen C - 4 October 2021

I really enjoyed this workshop in this beautiful home studio. Everything was very well explained and there was plenty of time for me to make 4 silver leaves (2 small oak leaves, and 2 maple leaves) without feeling rushed. They turned out beautifully and will make some special gifts for my 2 girls (if, indeed, I decide to part with them!). A relaxing and wonderful experience, and I'm already planning to come back for a different workshop (or indeed more silver leaf making) soon!
