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.
