Today I meet 2 sisters, Anneke from Utrecht and Desiree from Harderwijk. At the beginning of this year they signed up for an Art Clay Silver workshop. Now the time has finally come to create nice silver jewelry.
They are on time and are looking forward to it. We start with a cup of coffee and a "party maker", followed by a brief explanation about the unique silver clay. Both ladies know well what they want and adjust the wishes to the possibilities. They opted for rings. Desiree goes for a sleek model with the initial letters of the names of her grandchildren and a zirconia; blue as a symbol for the boys and pink for her granddaughter. Anneke wants a more playful design and goes wild with syringe and zirconias. It turns out to be a pretty handy job to put the stones neatly in sufficient syringe. Eventually there appears to be some clay left, Desiree turns it into a small drop-shaped pendant.
Driven they finish the jewelry, until the moment that a slight appetite indicates that it is time for lunch. Well deserved, tasty well-made sandwiches and fresh orange juice.
The designs can be fired by 15.00. Everything comes neatly from the kiln, the fit is good, time to polish. And how beautiful they have become, well done!

Anneke and Desiree, thank you for your presence.
I had a great day again, partly because of your efforts.
Have fun with your rings and maybe until next time!
