Hi, I'm Anna,
This is exciting, hey! I love 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 44 countries around the world and in 2024, I launched Silver Metal Clay Courses.

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 'stuff', 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 this new adventure of teaching as many people as humanly possible, to make beautiful jewellery using silver metal clay.

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 to keep moving forward with anything that I do, but I kept procrastinating - a character trait I'm sure many of you will recognise. My imposter syndrome gets to me from time to time, like it does with all creative people, but I always get there with a bit of encouragement.

So, in March 2024, I launched my first course for beginners, THE MEGACOURSE, and you loved it! It's still one of my best sellers.

I'm sitting at my desk in Devon surrounded by tools, gemstones, texture tiles, moulds and metal clay. It's my happy place. 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 many craft magazines, I could never ask anyone to do anything that I didn't know how to do myself. Hence, why I have tried most crafts! 

I spent a few years training part time to be a silversmith. I launched Silver Nutshell Jewellery in 2019, making nature jewellery, and in 2023, I created a collection for Westonbirt, the national arboretum in the Cotswolds. I was also delighted to win the Muddy Stilettos Award for Best Jeweller in Glos and Worcs in 2022!

When I launched my first online video course, 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.
