November meeting - 'Silver Clay Jewellery'




















Rohanna Stoddart was our tutor for the November meeting with her 'Silver Clay Jewellery'. What started off as a piece of 'clay' was magically turned into wonderful silver - and gold - jewellery.














Rohanna brought along a selection of pieces just to wet our appetites ...















This is the moment when the 'clay' pieces come out of the kiln. Rohanna is pointing out that they are still VERY hot ...














... Marie has to test it for herself?














What followed was a lot of brushing with a wire brush. Here are Sue and Sandie ...














... Marie and Yvonne ...














... Jean ...














... and Mary. Everyone is hard at it!














A gold piece is treated equally roughly.














Here are some of the finished pieces ... pendants ...















... and a pair of earrings. Lovely.














And, of course, the shop assistants are still 'hard at it'!
