Learn the fundamentals of metalsmithing while making your own textured disc ring with a set gemstone! ! In this hands-on class, you'll explore essential jewelry techniques including filing, sanding, sizing, forming, hammering, finishing and more. We'll begin with a brief lecture covering safety and an overview of metal arts, followed by step-by-step demonstrations. You'll measure and size your ring, then use torches and hammers to form and solder both the ring band. Once ring bands are constructed and finished, a 6mm gemstone bezel will be soldered to the ring band and stones will be set. Choose from brass or copper, both included in the class cost. Sterling silver will also be available for in-class purchase if you'd like to upgrade your materials. By the end of the workshop, you'll leave with a unique, handcrafted spinner ring, and a solid introduction to basic metalsmithing skills.
