Art Clay is easy to work with: you can shape it in minutes, dry it quickly with a hair drier, fire it on your kitchen gas hob, and polish it with toothpaste. You start with soft clay and end up with real solid 999 silver: ready to wear, give, or sell.

You can design and make your own unique necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, keepsakes, rings, brooches, anklets, ornaments, and seasonal decorations.

You can add silver clasps to clothes, overlays to gift cards, motifs to handbags, highlights to wood, ceramics, glass, and shells, and produce complex shapes and patterns from moulds.

You could also take a teacher-certification course, start your own business, resell all the clays, kilns, and tools, and run your own courses.

The Kitiki Studio provides a comprehensive Art Clay educational programme as classes, masterclasses, workshops, and Art Clay Level 1 and Level 2 teacher-certification courses, as well as classes for related products and techniques.

When you successfully complete an Art Clay Level 1 or Level 2 course, there are lower prices for Art Clay, kilns, tools, and materials. You don't need to set up an account: just mail or call with your certificate number.

The courses are held in Corfe Castle village, Dorset. All the tools and materials you need are included, along with kiln time so that you can fire and finish your work.

Corfe Castle is set in beautiful countryside surrounded by pretty villages, historic buildings, clean beaches, dramatic cliffs, protected coves, open heathland, and panoramic views.

Corfe Castle is eight minutes from Wareham station, on the Waterloo to Weymouth line, and on the Poole to Swanage bus route. Trains and coaches arrive at Poole from across the UK, including Heathrow. Parking is easy.

The Kitiki Studio runs regular scheduled courses. However, they fill up quickly, and arts and crafts events, masterclasses, open days, workshops, and general jewellery courses, are often added. If you're interested, mail or call.
