Chununga Design Studios

History

The Chununga Tree was started in 2000, when silver clay first came over to the UK. Elaine McDermott, was then working with ceramic. Elaine became very interested in silver clay to work with her ceramic clay and eventually she found herself indulging herself 100% in this wonderful medium. She went on to train as a Senior Tutor in Metal Clay and already held her City & Guild Teaching Certificate. Further improving her skills in silvermithing, glass and enamelling.
