In this workshop you will make a set of 3 stacking rings using a combination of fine silver metal clay and sterling silver wire. First you will make 3 dainty bands using sterling silver wire. Then you will learn how to make decorative elements from silver clay using a variety of molds and textures. Then you will solder your decorative pieces onto your ring bands. Finally you will finish and polish your rings.

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.

In this class we will create a tiny treasure box with a loose fitting lid in a simple way. You will receive 20 grams of fine silver metal clay, and have a variety of mold shapes to choose from. 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… It is meant to be fun. And you will have fun creating it. A large assortment of textures and molds will be available. You will complete your box to the dried greenware stage. Pieces will be fired after class and available for pick-up the following week. Additional clay will be available for purchase from the instructor.

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.

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.
