Some of Becca Macdonald's designs are created using precious metal clay.

During this workshop you will be introduced to this magical material that behaves like clay, but transforms into solid silver once fired.

Workshop price includes all materials, refreshments and a delicious, locally sourced lunch – and take home beautifully unique silver jewellery, hand crafted by you in a single day.

No jewellery making experience is needed!

We will spend the morning exploring mark making and developing design ideas.

You will then be shown how to recreate your favourite designs in precious metal clay.

Following a lunch break, with delicious food provided by Saltaire's famous Edward Street Bakery, you will torch fire your silver clay designs and witness the magic before your very eyes.

After refining and polishing your creations, you will leave with one or two finished pieces of one of a kind silver jewellery.

Following a degree in Textile Design from Chelsea College of Arts, Becca was employed in London design studios and artist’s workshops. She assisted in the creation of immersive sculptural installations, furniture and bespoke artworks. An evening class in jewellery making equipped Becca with the skills to turn a passion into a practice and influenced a change in direction and scale. Since relocating to West Yorkshire, Becca launched her jewellery business in 2018 and in 2019 was recognised by The National Association of Jewellers as an IJL KickStart winner and chosen as a finalist in The Professional Jeweller Awards for Young Jewellery Designer of the Year.
