Metal Clay Studio

(San Pedro NE & Constitution area)
Tuition: $180 – All materials are included.
Looking for the perfect introduction to silver clay? This beginner-friendly workshop is your gateway into the fascinating world of metal clay jewelry, where creativity meets transformation.
You’ll begin with a soft, moldable clay made of 99.9% pure recycled silver, water, and an organic binder. With hands-on guidance, you’ll create your own pair of fine silver earrings and set sparkling cubic zirconias (CZs) into pre-made silver clay bezels, giving your piece a touch of sparkle.
Then comes the magic.
Using a small handheld butane torch, you’ll fire your earrings in-studio. As the organic binder burns away, you’ll reveal solid .999 fine silver underneath. The moment your design emerges from the flame is unforgettable. With just a brass brush and soapy water, your earrings will begin to gleam…yes, real silver you created with your own hands!
Absolutely no prior silversmithing experience required!
You’ll Learn:
- How to work with eco-friendly silver metal clay
- How to texture, and shape earring components
- How to secure CZs using pre-made silver clay bezels
- Safe and simple torch-firing techniques
- Finishing and polishing with a brass brush for a high-shine result
- Jewelry-making tips for personal use or gifting.
Note: The studio address will be emailed to enrolled students a couple of days before the workshop.
