Hi, I'm Anna,
This is exciting, hey! I love anything creative and especially working with silver metal clay. As a former Editor and Publisher of craft magazines and digital products, I love writing about it too. It's why I now sell my digital Silver Metal Clay Guides in 748 cities in 45 countries around the world.

If you want to learn how to make beautiful jewellery using this magical product, then you're in the right place. I share a lot of techniques and top tips @silvernutshell on Instagram >> thank you if you're already following me. If not, go and click the link and let's go on this journey together!

"Life is only limited by the time you can spend doing something creative"

I take after my Mom, Doris, who taught me the joy of making, and my Dad, who was Hungarian and instilled in me from a young age, that life gives back so much more when you are generous and kind. His story is one of courage and I like to think that I am courageous, stepping out into new adventures and connecting with creatives all around the world.

I began filming video courses, because a few of you got in touch and asked me to. It's that simple. You told me that you loved my Silver Metal Clay PDF Guides (thanks if you've bought one!) but wanted to learn in-person from me, but were living in different parts of the world.

I love what I do and I love to share even more. We grow up, giving up on lots of the creative skills that we did as children. I'm here to reconnect with you and show you that anyone can make jewellery, launch a creative business and do arty things.

Back in March 2024, I launched my first course for beginners, THE MEGACOURSE, and it's one of my best sellers. Along with my other two BIG COURSES, my RINGMAKING MASTERCLASS and ENAMELLING MADE EASY Course.

I learnt a long time ago that if I'm going to do anything then I immerse myself in it. It's how I used to launch magazines because as launch Editor and Publisher of some of Britain's best selling craft magazines, I could never ask anyone to do anything that I didn't know how to do myself. Hence, why I have tried my hand at most crafts! Aside from jewellery making, I still love painting and drawing the most, I think. It feels calming and we all need more of that in our lives.

As a trained silversmith, I launched Silver Nutshell Jewellery in 2019, making nature jewellery. In 2023, I created a collection for Westonbirt, the national arboretum in the Cotswolds. I also won the Muddy Stilettos Award for Best Jeweller in Glos and Worcs in 2022. I love a milestone!

When I launched my first online video course in 2024, I decided to do things differently. I love sharing what I know with you and keeping my courses affordable and delivering great value is still what drives me to create more courses, and also share so much technique and top tips on instagram @silvernutshell

I know many of you have learnt so much watching my ASK ANNA Q&A VIDEOS which you can find in the Silver Clay Cafe. Visit this link to join

All the best, Anna x
