Fees

Class fee
$290
Kit fee
$225, paid to the instructor on class day, not charged online

The kit fee is based on the silver market on 9/18/2026. The final kit fee will be evaluated and finalized 3 weeks prior to the class date. I will be sending out invoices to have the kits paid for at that time so I can lock in the best prices for the kits.

About this class

Now THIS is a day for the student who wants to do a little bit of everything!

I have packed some of my favorite techniques into one full day at the bench. You’ll fuse and forge fine silver rings, add texture to your base piece, and then settle in to learn the wonderfully addictive Viking Double-Knit weave.

And I’m not finished yet.

Once all those pieces and parts are ready to come together, I’ll share some of my favorite wire-wrapping techniques and show you how to pull everything into one finished piece.

Fusing. Forging. Texturing. Weaving. Wire wrapping. There’s a lot happening in this class — which is exactly why Hodge Podge is such a fitting name!

If you love a class where you get to try your hand at several different techniques instead of doing the same thing all day long, pull up a chair. This one has your name written all over it.
