Jewellery-making demonstration

Special

Silver clay with Joanna Mason

Join us to see an artist live in action. Professional jewellery artist Joanna Mason will demonstrate the art of jewellery making by using a revolutionary product called Silver Clay. Ever wanted to bend and mould metal in your hands? Joanna will show you how. Saturday March 13. 11.00am, 1.00pm and 3.00pm. Free.

Silver clay consists of very small particles of precious metals mixed with an organic binder and water. It can be shaped and cut just like any soft clay. After drying, it can be fired, burning away the binder, leaving the pure, solid, silver.

Join us on this day of demonstration for free and witness an artist at work. Drop by – no need to book.
