About this Event

You will produce at least one, but most likely between 2-3 sterling silver (or brass or bronze) stacking rings to wear home. During this experience you'll learn about the tools and equipment and then how to size, form, saw, solder, shape, hammer (texturize) and polish sterling silver using tools such as a caliper, jewelers saw, files, multiple hammers, a butane torch and a flex shaft among others.

First, we measure your finger and determine the length of sterling silver wire we'll need to use. You'll then saw the wire, form and prepare it for soldering, seal the joint with a torch, shape it into a perfect fitting ring with a hammer and mandrel and file and polish until it's ready to wear. We will do this as many times as possible and in various sizes and types of metal wire of your choice - time permitting.

I will teach you how to use and care for the tools and materials as well as the various possibilities with your new skills and how you can set up your very own jewelry studio after falling in love with your new skill set.

Other things to note:

I limit this to 2 people so it's very possible you'll have a private lesson for yourself or (always) you and your crafting accomplice! Please remember your mask, closed toe shoes and something to tie your (if long) hair back. All materials and equipment will be provided otherwise. I live with my sweet and chill chihuahua, Dinky, in case you are allergic to dogs!
