Learn the basics of metalsmithing while making your own fidget/spinner ring! Metalsmithing techniques for this project include filing, sanding, ring sizing, forming, hammering, finishing work, and more. The class will include a brief lecture on the metal arts and safety while working with metals, then a hands-on demonstration. Students will measure their rings, then form and solder their rings using torches and hammers. Once ring bands are constructed and finished, the "spinners" will be soldered and added to the ring band by hammering and forming. You can make your ring out of brass or copper as part of the cost of the class, and silver will be available for an additional in-class purchase if you prefer. By the end of the class, you will have made a unique spinner ring to take home with you! No experience necessary!
