Join ceramic artist Rhi Jarman, to create porcelain jewellery with sprig (press) moulds and stamps.  

In this workshop, Rhi will supply a range of handmade sprig (press) moulds of natural forms such as shells and fossils for you to create your own pendants for necklaces, earrings and much more. You will be using porcelain paper clay which transforms into fine, beautiful jewellery for daily use. You will begin by rolling the clay and pressing it into a variety of textured stamps and moulds to experiment, before creating final pieces. Rhi will demonstrate various techniques to add colour and decoration with underglaze, slips and oxides.  

You will also have the opportunity to create your own clay sprig moulds and stamps, a selection of which will be bisque fired following the class for future use with pottery. 

A choice of your final jewellery pieces will be glazed (if requested) and stoneware fired following the class for you to collect and transform into necklaces, earrings. Some wire hooks and jump rings to fasten jewellery will be provided, but chains/earring hooks are not.

You may wish to bring your own sketch book, and some objects to create clay sprig moulds/stamps – natural items such as shells and fossils work very well for this.
