About this class

In this fast-paced, hands-on workshop, Hoss Rogers shares his signature Reverse Roller Printing technique—a clever twist on traditional roller printing that creates an incredible raised, dimensional image on the surface of your metal.

You’ll learn Hoss’s process from beginning to end as you experiment with pattern, texture and design, then put your newly printed metal to work creating jewelry that is uniquely yours.

And this isn’t just about making one great project. Hoss will send you home with a technique you can take back to your own bench and use again and again—changing the imagery, the metal and the design possibilities every time.

Roll it. Reverse it. Raise it. Make it yours.

Come learn the technique that has become a Hoss Rogers signature—from Hoss himself.
