Experience the transformation of molten silver into organic, one-of-a-kind forms.
In this session, silver is melted and poured into water, where it rapidly cools and freezes into unique shapes and textures. You'll then select your piece(s) and finish it into a charm or pair of earrings.
Participants may take part in the pouring process by holding the crucible and pouring molten silver while the instructor manages the torch, or choose to observe if preferred. From there you'll sift through the cooled silver, uncovering the shapes frozen in that moment, and choose your piece to finish into jewellery.
Who it's for: No experience necessary, but best suited for adults due to the use of heat and open flame. Teens may attend accompanied by parent or guardian, and all attendees must be registered participants. Class size is limited to 4 people.
Date & Time: May 10th 7:00pm-8:30pm (evening class)
Location:Â 213 John St. in Pontypool
Includes:Â Instruction + sterling silver findings (ear wires or bails) for your first piece. Silver splash castings are priced per gram (ranging from $10 - $40, approximately)

Care information
Care information
To keep your jewellery looking it’s best:
*Avoid direct contact with perfume, body lotion, hair spray or other chemicals - allow perfume or lotion to dry before wearing.
*Never expose jewellery to household cleaning products.
*Remove your jewellery before bathing, showering, swimming or entering a hot tub.
*Remove before sleeping.
*Remove jewellery when participating in physical activities (cleaning/gardening/sports)
*Gently wipe off excess oils or perspiration with a soft cloth.
*Store in a tightly sealed plastic bag (ziploc) or box to minimize tarnish.
How to remove tarnish:
*Light tarnish may be removed with a gentle wipe with a polishing cloth, followed by washing using a toothbrush with dish detergent & water. Rinse well & pat dry.
*Heavier tarnish (on jewellery without gemstones) may be removed with a dip cleaner & thoroughly washed using a toothbrush with dish soap & water. Rinse well & pat dry.
*Never expose pearls or porous gemstones to dips or other chemical cleaners.
Made to Order!
As an independant maker, it's hard to keep every piece (in all sizes & colour variations) in stock at all times.
In the case that an item is not in stock, I am happy to make one to your specifications just for you!
Please contact me to let me know which piece you would like, as well as the size / colour variation, or any other requests you may have. I'll let you know the lead time you can expect (this can vary depending on my current projects) and get to the bench ASAP!
