Join local artist Shirley Wu for this beginner-friendly class. You will be introduced to the magic of transforming silver-clay paper into a stunning pendant or pair of earrings.
You'll learn how to handle and creatively shape your silver-clay paper using traditional origami techniques combined with other fun innovative methods. By the end of the session, you'll walk away with a unique, personal pendant or pair of earrings that’s ready to wear or gift to someone special.
This is NOT an origami lesson – prior knowledge of simple origami folds is helpful but not required.
What’s Included:
A 5x5cm silver-clay paper and complimentary silver earring or pendent attatchment(s) (option to upgrade to larger sizes and to additional silver findings for different attachments)
The workshop now includes firing and polishing-- you can witness how the clay turns into silver, magic! After the 2.5-hour class, your ring will be fired and polished (takes approx. 2 hours), for same day or another day collect, depending on workshop hours.
What you'll get
Introduction to silver clay and origami jewellery techniques
How to fold and shape silver-clay paper (different from traditional origami paper)
How to attach earring studs or a bail to your pendant
Firing process & post-firing care for your silver jewellery

A quick heads-up: To keep the workshop running smoothly, I need at least 4 participants. If I don’t hit that number, the session might need to be rescheduled. If you’ve got a smaller group, no worries—I'm happy to run a more intimate session for a slightly higher fee, please message me.
Private bookings are also welcome!
