Introduction to art clay silver

On Saturday I ran a class for eleven friends over in a really pretty village near Thirsk. This was their first introduction to art clay silver and a very creative bunch of people they were. I gave them a short talk about the possibilities and showed them a few examples then they were straight into the making process. I love the way in which everyone is able to make something which reflects their own personality and their enthusiasm throughout the day was wonderful. We had a fantastic lunch and then they finished off their pieces of jewellery. Everyone had made two or three wearable items and were delighted with the things they had produced. Here are a couple of pictures showing some of them finishing off their work and a few of the things they made.
