Copper Clay Workshop – Make a Pendant

This beginners class is for anyone who is new to working with copper clay and would like to spend an exciting evening experimenting and learning new techniques.

One of the great advantages to working in copper clay is that it is relatively easy to continue working at home after the class without a big investment as you don’t need many tools or equipment.

Techniques covered in this class include:

• Rolling out the clay to a consistent thickness
• Texturing and cutting out shapes
• Sanding, polishing and drilling
• Torch firing and basics of kiln firing
• Adding multiple layers of clay

There is lots of flexibility in terms of design and experimentation. By the end of the day you should have enough skills to go away and start making things from home.

What you need to bring for this class:

For this class you don’t need to bring anything but yourself, as everything is provided but do check out Copper Clay on the internet or Pinterest for ideas. Also, keep an eye out for any textures like leaves, twigs, bottle tops, kids toys, pretty hair clips, textured wallpaper, materials, cake cutters etc. It is a clay so most things go. I have plenty of bits and bobs though so don’t worry if you don’t find anything.

Ticket price: £45

Inclusions/Exclusions: You can purchase extra clay on the day at cost price, should you wish to make larger pieces or more than one. There will be limitations on firing as the kiln is only small but I can always fire and deliver any work at a later date. Everyone will leave with at least one finished piece.
