Last Saturday I got up bright and early and drove down to deepest Cambridgeshire to go to one of Silverpebble's (Emma Mitchell) silver clay workshops. I have admired Emma's work for some time now and have actually purchased some of her work at the Holt Pick and Mix Craft Market.
A last minute space came up on her workshop and it caught me at the right moment. I was just gazing disconsolately at a couple of packets of silver clay languishing on my shelf. I couldn't pluck up the courage to open the packets and get cracking.
After a morning with Emma and some very successful work I now feel inspired to get going again. I'm really pleased with this necklace and earrings I made. The button is destined to be partof a charm bracelet which I hope to finish by the next Aldborough Creative.
I can thoroughly recommend Emma's workshops, she is an excellent teacher and what's more she bakes a mean muffin!
I wondered who'd grab that spare place - sounds like you had a great time.

Crikey, didn't you do well? I can imagine having a set of silver buttons on a cashmere cardigan - well, I can dream...

Hi Fiona - it looks like you had a great time on the workshop. I love the bird especially! Could you send me your email address please as your name was pulled out of the hat (well, bowl!) in my poppy challenge lottery.
Thanks,
Jo
