Textured Stacking Ring Workshop (Art for All Series)

Join us for a hands-on jewelry-making workshop where you’ll create your very own textured stackable rings from start to finish! In this fun and beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn the fundamentals of metalworking — including forming, soldering, patination, and adding unique textures that make each ring one-of-a-kind.

Under the guidance of an experienced instructor, you’ll:

• Learn how to measure, cut, and shape your band
• Practice texturing techniques using hammers and specialty tools
• Solder, polish and then patina for and proffessional finish
• Leave with a custom-made ring that’s ready to wear or stack!

No prior experience is necessary — just bring your creativity! All tools and materials are provided.

Please wear natural fibers, close-toed shoes, full length pants, and have any long hair pulled back. If you would like to bring your own safety glasses you may; otherwise, we will have extras here.

*Age 16+ (under 18 MUST be accompanied by a guardian)
