Yorkshire Seaside Silver Clay Jewellery
Saturday 10th January 2026 - Cober Hill, Scarborough
Available spaces
Join us for an inspiring one-day silver clay jewellery workshop at Cober Hill, nestled in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside, where you’ll craft a unique seaside-inspired silver clay pendant under the expert guidance of Helen Drye. With over 15 years of experience working with silver clay, Helen brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity to this hands-on session, guiding you through the technical skills needed to design, texture, cut, fire, and polish a beautiful piece of jewellery that stands out from the crowd. Perfect for beginners and those with some crafting experience, this workshop offers a welcoming and creative environment to explore the innovative art of silver clay. Silver clay, a revolutionary material developed in Japan in the 1990s, combines fine silver particles with an organic binder, allowing artisans to mold it like clay before firing it into pure, 99.9% fine silver. This modern take on traditional metalworking draws on the ancient craft of jewellery-making, which dates back over 5,000 years to civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt, where precious metals adorned both royalty and everyday wearers. Silver clay’s usefulness lies in its accessibility, no forge or complex tools required making it ideal for creating intricate, professional-quality jewellery in a single day. The workshop’s informal, friendly atmosphere ensures a delightful experience for all participants. Helen’s passion for silver clay and her experience teaching diverse groups create a supportive space where creativity thrives, as evidenced by glowing reviews of her “excellent” and “inspiring” workshops . You’ll work with professional-grade silver clay, tools, and firing equipment, all provided, allowing you to focus on crafting a pendant that captures the essence of the seaside.
