This single session class will take place over the course of 2 hours on Oct 7 from 2:30-4:30pm at The Rivet.

In this beginner friendly jewelry making class, learn to make a forged ring with a stunning wave donning the middle of the ring. This ring can be worn on it's own or paired and soldered to create an intricate statement piece.

In this class students will learn the proper technique to size, lay out and fabricate a ring blank. Techniques covered in this class include: filing; using a jeweler’s saw to create a tight-fitting seam; soldering with hard silver solder; forming and sizing a completed ring; and machine polishing using a flex-shaft and polishing compounds. At the conclusion of this class students will leave with the knowledge and skills needed to fabricate a forged ring from wire.

Please note: Closed toed shoes are required in our studio at all times.
