Calling all jewelry lovers! Our most popular class, Silver Band/Ring Making, is back and better than ever! And perfect for Valentine’s Day!!
What:
Learn the basics of silver jewelry making, including shaping, and polishing. In this class, you’ll learn how to make your own unique silver ring from scratch. You’ll start by finding your ring size. We will cut a piece of silver that will become your ring. Then, you’ll use a variety of tools to shape, add texture and even stamp a few letters or numbers if desired. Finally, you’ll polish your ring to a beautiful shine. We will provide a jewelry box to treasure your ring in. And while we work, we will provide some treats. Each participant will also get a flower.
