HELLO and welcome to the Magical World of Silver Metal Clay!
Hi, I'm Anna Davenport, and you probably know me from @silvernutshell. Born in the UK, 50% English and 50% Hungarian, I'm an adventurous metal clay tutor, jeweller, artist and trained silversmith. My blog is the place where I'll be offering you help if you're new to metal clay. I'll take you behind the scenes and give you an insight into my small, but mighty, silver metal clay jewellery business.
I used to work in media, publishing, and teaching, but my true passion is helping jewellers and enthusiastic beginners everywhere, succeed. If you have always wanted to create your own silver metal clay jewellery, but you have no prior experience—you are in exactly the right place.
You can easily learn what I know. I recommend the MEGACOURSE for beginners, and if you prefer to sit down with a good read, try my PDF Guides. My courses are all ready to start straight away, so no signing up for a course in a month's time - oh no!
I've recently added prompts so you can get instant replies on my social media posts because there are over 130,000 of you across instagram and facebook, but only one of me! Look out for these because they will give you direct links in your DMs to anything new, exciting or just 'stuff' I think you might like to know more about.
Ready to turn your creative ideas into real silver? Let's get started!
All the best, ANNA x
