Cost is £30 per class including all materials, equipment and tuition.About Jackie With over 20 years of experience in silversmithing and metalsmithing, I’ve developed a deep love for the art of jewellery making. What has always captivated me most is the creative freedom found in working with clay — the way it allows the imagination to flow freely toward a finished design.
I began using clay as a way to prototype my metal pieces, and through that process, I fell in love with the medium itself. Now, it brings me great joy to share this journey with others, teaching the craft and inspiring new makers to explore their own creativity.
