It’s a process that never loses its fascination for me, from creating a mould with simple equipment, to the magic of revealing a newly formed piece of jewellery in the sand. This is a workshop for those who enjoy a bit of mess, a bit of magic, and don’t mind the odd imperfection – because that’s often where the beauty lies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eI’ll guide you through each step – from preparing your mould using a special casting sand, to pouring your silver and finishing your piece. You’ll leave with something entirely your own: a piece of solid silver, made by your hands, to keep or to gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe theme is ‘by the sea’ – shells, pebbles, sea-worn treasures – but really, it’s about what feels meaningful to you. *You’re welcome to bring something small and solid to cast (anything that can survive a good squeeze in the sand), or choose from my collection of seaside finds in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eYou’ll learn how to:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003eCreate a special sand mould with your chosen object\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- [if !supportLists]--\u003eMelt silver in a crucible and pour it into your mould\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eRemove casting marks – or leave them for extra texture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eTurn your cast pieces into finished, wearable jewellery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe class includes 15g of silver which is enough for two small pieces\u003cspan style=\"mso-spacerun: yes;\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003eor one larger piece, as well as jump rings for soldering to your jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eEarwires, posts and chains can be purchased on the day, depending on what you’d like to make, as well as extra casting silver if required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eWorkshops are small and supportive, so there’s plenty of time for individual guidance.
