Textured Forms — Atelier Silver Clay
Trois heures au cœur de la matière. Vous travaillerez le silver clay, une pâte composée de particules d'argent recyclé qui devient, après cuisson, de l'argent pur 999‰. À partir de 10 grammes, vous façonnerez votre propre pièce : une paire de boucles d'oreilles organiques, des ear cuffs, un pendentif ou une bague. Sculpter, texturer, polir. Repartir avec quelque chose qui vous ressemble.
Prochains ateliers à Vevey, au Cep d'Or. Durée : 3 heures · 10 personnes maximum · Débutants bienvenus.
Qu'est-ce que le silver clay ?

Jewelry Care
Does silver tarnish?
Yes, and it’s a natural process! Silver reacts to sulfur in the air, humidity, and even the acidity of your skin. This oxidation creates a patina that gives your jewelry character. However, if you prefer it shiny, it’s easy to clean.
How do I clean my silver jewelry?
- For a quick shine: Use the polishing cloth provided with your order. Rub gently to remove light tarnish.
- For a deep clean: Wash your piece with warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Use a soft toothbrush to gently clean textured areas. Dry completely with a soft cloth.
- Avoid chemicals: Never use harsh chemical dips or bleach, especially on pieces with pearls or stones, as they can damage the finish permanently.
Can I wear my jewelry in water?
We recommend removing your jewelry before showering, swimming (pool or sea), or visiting hot springs. Chlorine and salt can accelerate tarnishing, and extreme temperatures might affect certain stones or pearls.
How should I store my jewelry?
When you’re not wearing them, store your pieces individually in the Soa box or a soft pouch. Ideally, keep them in a dry place away from direct sunlight and humidity (avoid the bathroom if possible!).
A note on Pearls & Stones:
Pearls are organic gems and are sensitive to acids. Apply your perfume, hairspray, or lotions before putting on your jewelry. Remember the rule: "Last on, first off."
Treat it with care — it will carry your light longer.
