This ring-making class will introduce you to 'using fire' (the acetylene/air torch) to make jewelry. Beginner students will make and texture a stack of rings using hammers and stamps or select from a variety of pre-patterned wire. Students confident with the torch can add bezel-set gemstones. Everyone will go home with 2 - 4 rings.
Even if you have done a stacking ring class with us in the past, you'll find this class different in an exciting way with the addition of bezel-setting small gemstones into your creation. And for those who have done this class before - come and have more fun, deepen your skills, and play with a variety of new stones.
If you have your own tools you’re welcome to bring them, please make sure you have your name or an ID on them.
