One of our very favourite autumn/fall activities is clambering into the hedgerow for handfuls of ripe blackberries while on country dog walks. Perfect for snacking, jams, and our all-time favourite blackberry and apple crumble, these little hedgerow jewels can also be used to create autumn-inspired silver jewellery. So this year we have foraged a few unripe ones from the hedgerow to eternalise into a Silver Clay Coin Necklace.

In most cases, Fine Silver Clay does not require the use of a kiln for the firing process. Instead, you can effectively achieve the right firing temperatures through the method of torch firing, which makes the overall process significantly more accessible and convenient, especially for those who are just starting out on their jewellery-making journey.
