      <g:title>Metal Clay Academy Launchpad</g:title>
      <g:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The new Metal Clay Academy Launchpad&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Take your jewellery making to another level with this full on metal clay&amp;nbsp; workshop designed to make you Diploma ready.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Metal Clay Academy Launchpad is not just another silver clay workshop, it will prepare you for an exciting journey down the road to metal clay excellence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is the Metal Clay Academy Launchpad?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Launchpad is a fully immersive workshop where you will not only learn the basic fundamentals of making jewellery with metal clay, but you&amp;rsquo;ll also get an insight into the follow-on Diploma and Certification Courses available at Metal Clay Academy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;With the option of a 1 Day or 2 Day Launchpad Workshop, you will be introduced to the magic of metal clay and be shown how to make some fantastic jewellery that you&amp;rsquo;ll be able to take away with you on the day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;We promise you a full on workshop and from the beginning we will introduce you to what metal clay is and its history.&amp;nbsp; From there we will walk you through the essential fundamentals of planning your project, setting up your work station and preparing your tools.&amp;nbsp; These points are often overlooked but are essential for getting the best from your precious materials.&amp;nbsp; Throughout the session you will undertake 3 projects (4 projects on the 2 Day Launchpad) and these cover the essential fundamentals and key techniques for working with metal clay.&amp;nbsp; These projects are designed to not only show you the versatility of metal clay but will also give you some freedom to experiment and get your creative juices flowing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How does The Metal Clay Academy Launchpad differ from other introductory courses?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Metal Clay Academy Launchpad has been specially created for anyone who is at the start of their metal clay journey and is looking for a structured introduction to working with this amazing material. It's not just a day of making simple pieces of jewellery by sticking pieces of clay in a mould, the Metal Clay Academy Launchpad will introduce you to some key skills required for working with metal clay. We teach you the essential fundamentals that few others teach.&lt;br /&gt;What's more, you will also work with copper clay on the 1 Day Launchpad and copper and bronze clay on the 2 Day Launchpad only.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 1 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;To begin with you will make a layered pendant from silver clay that will&amp;nbsp; teach you so many techniques in one project.&amp;nbsp; In this one project you will learn&amp;nbsp; how to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 2&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt; The next project is an overlap ring, again from silver clay. Here is an example of one made by one of the students.&amp;nbsp; Rings are a popular choice in jewellery making but making rings from silver clay can be challenging, especially when it comes to the sizing.&amp;nbsp; Again, we will guide you through the process so you have our full support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 3 &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;will introduce you to copper clay, one of the base metal clay products that we feature in several of our courses.&amp;nbsp; For project 3 you will make a copper necklace based on a brief given to you by your tutor.&amp;nbsp; There is plenty of flexibility in this project to change the design if you are bursting with ideas.&amp;nbsp; Whilst the basic fundamentals of working with base metal clay and silver clay are very similar, there are also subtle but significant differences in order to get the best from your project.&amp;nbsp; This project is a great introduction to our Base Metal Fundamentals Certification and our Diploma in Base Metal Clay (launching in 2027).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Project 4 (2 Day Launchpad only) &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;is exclusive to the 2 Day Launchpad and introduces you to Bronze Clay, another of our base metals.&amp;nbsp; For this project you will make a golden bronze brooch.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Bronze clay has, yet again, small differences that can make a difference to how you work with your clay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throughout the course we will be discussing and demonstrating various aspects of working with metal clay, not only to increase your knowledge, but also help structure a development pathway for you.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the course you will have the opportunity to have your work assessed and marked by your tutor.&amp;nbsp; This will give you an idea of what to expect in the Diploma as well as our follow on courses.&amp;nbsp; You will also be given a Certificate of Achievement and details of your marks for future reference.&amp;nbsp; Of course, you don't have to know your marks if you don't want to, it's up to you, and you will still receive a certificate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will also receive a development plan which will help you decide what your next steps are.&amp;nbsp; If you decide to sign up the Diploma, your tutor will guide you through what's involved and support you with your application.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQ's&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I need to have experience?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Absolutely not!&amp;nbsp; The Metal Clay Academy Launchpad has been created for the total beginner and is designed to introduce you to working with metal clay without having to rely on vague or inaccurate online tutorials.&amp;nbsp; What&amp;rsquo;s more you don&amp;rsquo;t need to bring any tools or materials, we provide everything you need.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why is there a 1 day and a 2 day option? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;We wanted to give you the option of 1 or 2 days depending on your circumstances.&amp;nbsp; It may be that you can only get 1 day off work or possibly a day trip on the train is more convenient for you.&amp;nbsp; For those of you who would prefer to do the Launchpad session in 1 day, we pack as much information and tuition as we can into the day without trying to overload you.&amp;nbsp; The 1 Day Launchpad includes 3 projects which will be very good going for the time we have but it is a very well planned day and there&amp;rsquo;ll be a lot to do.&amp;nbsp; And whilst we try to get a prompt start at 9.30, our 5.30pm finish is flexible.&amp;nbsp; We want you to get the most from your day and like to make sure you are going away knowing you have achieved a lot and have a clear plan for what&amp;rsquo;s next. And, whilst the 2 day Launchpad includes an additional project, the fact that the remainder of the Course is spread out a little more across the 2 days gives us time to cover those fundamentals in a little more detail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Do I have to sign up for the Diploma after the Launchpad workshop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Not at all.&amp;nbsp; The Launchpad has been designed to introduce you to working with metal clay and will give you a great insight into the fundamentals and the techniques.&amp;nbsp; It is entirely up to you whether or not you sign up for a Diploma.&amp;nbsp; You may even wish to consider one of our shorter Certification Courses but, even then, the choice is entirely yours.&amp;nbsp; Remember that the cost of your Launchpad Workshop will be deducted from the Diploma fee which is a bit like getting your Launchpad Workshop for nothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;(Terms apply)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I sign up for the Diploma or a Certification Course without doing the Launchpad Workshop?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;Absolutely!&amp;nbsp; If you feel you&amp;rsquo;re ready to take the next step without the Launchpad Workshop that&amp;rsquo;s absolutely fine.&amp;nbsp; We&amp;rsquo;ll guide you through the next steps with registration and can&amp;rsquo;t wait for you to join us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What Diploma or Certification choices do I have?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;The Metal Clay Academy Diploma will launch in January 2027 but, in the meantime, Metal Clay Academy offers a choice of short and medium Certification Courses in both silver clay and base metal clay.&amp;nbsp; The Certification Courses can be anything from 1 day to 4 days in length and are skills based workshops covering a variety of projects.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: 400;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <g:title>Silver Clay Jewellery Making - Evening Sessions 6pm-9pm</g:title>
      <g:description>Join us for an evening of silver jewellery making with a difference and discover the magic of silver clay. Venue - Pepper Tree Studio c/o Source Training Solutions Studio 2 433 Hedon Road, Hull, HU9 1RA In this 3 hour beginner workshop you will learn the fundamentals of working with silver clay which will allow you to create some fantastic pieces of jewellery. You don&amp;rsquo;t need any experience and you don&amp;rsquo;t need to bring anything with you. All the tools and equipment you need are provided including enough silver clay, to make 1-2 pieces of jewellery. Additional silver clay is available to buy on the day should you wish to make something bigger. You will be shown how to set up your workstation and then how to cut, texture and refine your piece ready for firing and then enjoy the magical experience of turning your work into silver. You&amp;rsquo;ll also discover some tips and tricks for polishing and finishing your silver jewellery. A silver chain and bail are included for you to finish your jewellery and a gift box for you to take your pieces home. And, if you wish to continue your silver clay journey, there will be silver clay starter kits and tools available as well as details of other up and coming silver clay workshops. All these are available with a 'Studio Day' Special Discount. What is Silver Clay? Silver clay is tiny particles of fine recycled silver that has been mixed with an organic binder. Developed in Japan around 30 years, silver clay can be moulded, shaped and textured before drying. Once dried, it can be filed, smoothed and even engraved. The clay is then fired, either in a kiln or with a blowtorch and the firing process burns off the binder and fuses the silver. And, yes it is real silver! It can be officially hallmarked at any UK Assay Office. Please read the full T&amp;amp;C's prior to booking. Over 14&amp;rsquo;s only for this workshop for Health and Safety Reasons. Under 16's must be accompanied by an adult. Please be aware that you will not be able to make stud earrings or rings in this workshop. Making stud earrings with silver clay is a more advanced skill level and requires soldering techniques using 2 different types of silver, although these are taught in other workshops. In addition, ring making requires a clear understanding of clay types and shrinkage etc. and more practice of the fundamentals before attempting to make a ring. Again, ring making is available in a separate workshop.</g:description>
