Join Kathy in her home-based studio for a fun, relaxed two-hour class where you'll learn to make pendants and earrings using silver metal clay. By the end of this class, you will have made a number of beautiful handmade silver pieces to take home with you.
Silver clay is a combination of silver powder, non-toxic binders, and water. It can be sculpted, moulded, rolled, and embedded with textures and patterns providing lots of scope to get creative. Once the clay is dried, it can then be fired using a butane torch, transforming your creations into solid silver within minutes.
Using 12.5 grams of silver clay and a range of clay tools, moulds, cutters, and texture mats, you'll have the chance to explore different ways of creating patterns and textures.
Metal clay is easy to set up at home. Kathy will advise on how you can get started and will also provide a set-up guide. With experience in a range of different clays, Kathy can provide information on the nuances of each clay.
Whether you're looking to learn the fundamental skills of silver metal clay from a fully trained and experienced teacher, or you want to try something new, Kathy will support and guide you to achieve success.
Kathy offers a relaxed, personalised experience for individuals, couples, and small groups of up to 4 people.

Kathy grew up in a very creative family. Her parents were potters and had a large workshop in the backyard. They always encouraged her to explore different arts and crafts. When Kathy was around 12 years old, her dad bought her a copper enamelling set. This was her first experience working with metals. She spent hours playing around, making jewellery in the corner of their pottery workshop.
Kathy went on to study Art Education at University, majoring in Jewellery Design and Silversmithing. She was fortunate to have the most patient and inspirational Silver Smithing teacher. It took her a lot of practice to really understand the process, but once she did, she was hooked.
After finishing her studies she moved to the UK where she worked in a school teaching primary aged children and coordinating the school’s Art program. During that time she took part in a workplace exchange program at the Tate Gallery in London.
Later, she moved back to Australia and studied a Master of Education - Gifted and Inclusive Education. She spent many years teaching support, extension, and creative development programs in schools whilst making jewellery on the side. Then at the end of 2017, she took a leap of faith, resigned from her teaching job and began making jewellery full time.
Kathy recently combined her two passions and now teaches jewellery classes at a local TAFE as well as private classes. She teaches traditional silversmithing, wax carving, gem setting, and metal clay.
Kathy describes creating handmade jewellery as a continuous journey in experimentation, problem solving, reflection, regrouping, and up-skilling. She aims to provide a fun, personalised experience where each student leaves feeling confident in their new skills.
