In this hands-on metalsmithing workshop, students will create a unique sterling silver band with rich reticulated texture, bronze accents, and a bezel-set stone. Participants will explore how controlled heat transforms metal into organic patterns while learning fusing and stone-setting techniques.

This process encourages a balance between technical precision and the expressive beauty of fire-formed metal.

Students may bring recycled silver scraps (old rings, earrings, or other gold or silver jewelry). Additional recycled metal will be available for purchase from the instructor during class.

Create a beautiful and functional piece of jewelry in this relaxing two-day workshop focused on designing and fabricating your own boho meditation spinning ring. Also known as worry rings, spinning rings feature multiple movable bands that rotate freely around a base ring, offering both visual interest and a calming tactile element.

In this hands-on class, students will learn foundational metalsmithing techniques including measuring, forming, texturing, soldering, and finishing a ring. Participants will design a one-of-a-kind piece using wire, layered metal textures, and optional stones to reflect their own personal style and aesthetic.

Throughout the workshop, students will gain practical jewelry-making skills while exploring the creative possibilities of handcrafted wearable art. This class is suitable for beginners as well as experienced makers looking to expand their metalsmithing practice.
