If you have little or no experience in metal work, this workshop is for you! You will learn the three steps of cut, weld, and polish to create a set of three rings in your size and style. 

Create your own unique tiny trinket box out of silver! You will receive 20 grams of fine silver metal clay, and have a variety of mold shapes to choose from with plenty of embellishment possibilities. This is meant to be a small, approximately 1” cubed, whimsical trinket box, maybe something to keep a child’s tooth, a lock of hair, a coin from your honeymoon to Italy, the button from your mother’s favorite dress… a darling little treasure. And you will have fun creating it! You will complete your box to the dried clay stage. Pieces will be fired by the instructor after class and available for pick-up the following week.

Learn to create a ring with a unique form! In this workshop, you will make an anticlastic ring which flares out at the ends, allowing a second ring to spin freely around the outside.

Create your own silver pendant or earrings by carving your own texture plate. You will receive a piece of lino to carve your texture with your own design or choose from a selection of pre-printed ones. Then you will receive 10 grams of fine silver metal clay to press into your texture plate to create your pendant or earrings. Your jewelry will be fired by the instructor after the workshop and will be available for you to pick up the following week at your convenience at the Art Center.

Design and create your own set of metal bangle bracelets! Learn to measure and cut round, patterned silver wire. Then solder and polish your work.
