HELLO and welcome to MADE IN METAL CLAY!
Born in the UK, 50% English and 50% Hungarian, I'm an adventurous metal clay tutor, jeweller, artist and trained silversmith. I love building 'new stuff' and working on 'new ideas' and if you know me, you'll know that I'm always looking for new ways to share what I've learnt. This is the place where I'll be showcasing my secret sources, taking you behind the scenes of my small, but mighty, silver metal clay jewellery and art business.
I'm always adding new features to the website so do have a browse around. I've written two new Guides to help jewellers grow on Instagram. Issues 1 and 2 are packed with practical help for anyone struggling to grow on Instagram.
Start the month with 20 episodes of ASK ANNA Q&A when you join The Silver Clay Cafe ! It's the best kept secret in silver metal clay, with a growing library of techniques, top tips and excellent videos to watch and learn from. PLUS, you'll get one of my best selling video courses to make gemstone butterflies when you join.
Keep coming back for more lovely surprises!
All the best, ANNA x
