Overview

I limit this to 3 people, as we'll be in my home studio, so it's very possible you'll have a private lesson for yourself or you and your crafting accomplice(s) and/or maybe a new friend!
You will leave wearing your very own - made with your own hands - metal rings.
This workshop is a great way to get a taste of metalsmithing for jewelry without dedicating yourself to an entire semester.
I've been an LA local for 12 years and love sharing my knowledge of the city, state and of course all things jewelry.

What's included

  • All tools and materials are provided and you leave with your very own handmade rings to wear!

What to expect

You will produce at least one, but most likely between 2-3 sterling silver, brass or gold (for an additional fee) stacking rings to wear home. During this experience you'll learn about the tools and equipment and then how to size, form, saw, solder, shape, hammer (texturize) and polish sterling silver using tools such as a caliper, jewelers saw, files, multiple hammers, a butane torch and a flex shaft among others.

First, we measure your finger and determine the length of sterling silver wire we'll need to use. You'll then saw the wire, form and prepare it for soldering, seal the joint with a torch, shape it into a perfect fitting ring with a hammer and mandrel and file and polish until it's ready to wear. We will do this as many times as possible and in various sizes and types of metal wire of your choice - time permitting.

I will teach you how to use and care for the tools and materials as well as the various possibilities with your new skills and how you can set up your very own jewelry studio after falling in love with your new skill set.
