Learn introductory metalsmithing skills with local artist Ndidi Kowalczyk. Ndidi will teach you how to solder, shape, and texture sterling silver wire. You'll leave with a set of up to three stackable rings, custom sized to fit you! By the end of class you will be proficient at soldering single seams and fabricating simple bands. This class uses open flames, sharp implements and metal tools. Some hand strength is required. If you need visual assistance (i.e. reading glasses) please bring them. Please wear close-fitting clothing, closed toed shoes, and tie back any long hair. This class packs a LOT into the time provided with another class scheduled right behind it. Please arrive on time and be ready to jump right in!

This class is open to ages 14+.
