We had a fantastic day with Claire Hall Glass this month for her one day course Reactive Jewellery: Uncapped Silver Reactions.

Claire guided students through a series of samples exploring the many reactions between silver foil, different bullseye glass, using powders and frits to embellish designs.

By the end of the course students had created a collection of samples, cabochons for pendants and larger pieces to be cold worked. ✨
