Introducing the BRAND NEW one-year online Diploma in Silver Metal Clay from Jewellers Academy.

I'm so excited to share this amazing course with you. Please watch the trailer for the course above to see some of the action!

What is metal clay?

Metal clay is a wonderful material to make professional, hallmark quality silver jewellery from home. It is made up of recycled silver particles, an organic plant-based binder and water. It can be moulded, textured, sculpted and shaped. It is fired to sinter the metal particles together and leave you with your gorgeous creation in silver.

What will I learn on the course?

Learn to make a whole portfolio of rings, earrings, bracelets, cufflinks and so much more on this course.

Some of the techniques you will learn include working with the clay, stone setting lab created and natural gemstones, adding gold, polishing and finishing your jewellery, fingerprint and keepsake jewellery, soldering in metal clay, working with paper metal clay, enamelling metal clay and much more.
