Hi, I'm Anna,

Founder of Silver Nutshell Jewellery & Silver Metal Clay Courses

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've launched Silver Metal Clay Courses.

 I am a trained silversmith and I launched Silver Nutshell Jewellery in 2019, making nature jewellery. In 2023, I created a collection for Westonbirt, the national arboretun, here in the Cotswolds. I was also delighted to win the Muddy Stilettos Award for Best Jeweller in Glos and Worcs in 2022!

"Life, I think, 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 that life gives back so much more when you are generous and kind. His story is one of courage and I like to think I am courageous, stepping out into this new adventure of teaching silver metal clay.

I began this journey to create online video courses, because a few of you got in touch and asked me to. 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 spread all across the world.

Your kind comments, plus the 5 star ratings on my Guides, has given me the confidence to build this new space for us all to share. You're very much on this journey with me!

I wanted to do things differently which is why I've created affordable online video courses, which feel as if you're sitting with me in my studio. I also love giving 'stuff' away which is why you can get lots of help hints, tips and tricks and ask me questions in my NEW Online Community at the Silver Clay Cafe! Visit this link to join

If you SIGN UP to my newsletter, you'll get secret codes from time to time with special subscriber offers!

If there are techniques or products that you'd like to see and learn, please say. I've got lots of ideas and I imagine that you have too! Visit the contact page to get in touch, chat with me in the Silver Clay Cafe or DM me on instagram @silvernutshell

All the best, Anna x

ps and please be kind and patient because there is just me. That is, unless you include the family dog, Misha. He's my favourite ;-)
