1. Pendant Top 

For those who are attending Trial class (1 session only), you can start by making a pendant of your design; preferably a simple one. In this class you are able to learn on how to work with silver clay and the basics to pattern making/texturing.

1. Moulding

You can create your own mould out of an object you like. This technique is great for multiple piece of same design.

1. Round ring with synthetic stone

In this subject, it is similar to rope ring. However, you are required to create a basic ring base that is polished to perfection. Then set the stone on dried ring base where you need to do some drilling.

2. Leaf Brooch

This is a technique where you will turn an actual leave into a silver piece using our paste. It’s so flexible you can turn almost anything organic into silver!

2. Belt Ring

Brush up on your precision in finishing your design. In this class, we train you to create a ring that have the same polished look as a manufactured piece. Then you can add more clay on your ring base.

Once you are familiar with how silver clay works, you can move on to more advance technique. Bail work is where 2 solid piece are interlocked together.

3. Rope Ring

For those who are attending Trial class (1 session only), you can start by making a ring of your design as well. This would be a different way of handling clay compared to making pendants.

3. Hole work

Hole work, also known as hollow work is a fun technique where you can insert synthetic stones in your piece or just leave it as hollow piece. You will learn how to use cork clay and PMC3 syringe in this project.

3. Pearl setting

Stepping it up a notch, we teach you on incorporating different materials with silver clay. Because natural pearls cannot withstand high heat, we have to set them after your piece is fired.

1. 3D Carving

In this subject we will teach you on drawing 3D design and measurements to get the best projection of your project before starting to make the actual piece. You would need to practice in order to have the 3D image in your mind because we are very used to 2D drawings these days.
