About this class

Explore the art of bending delicate sterling silver tubing to create a sculptural, one-of-a-kind ring.

In this class, you’ll learn how to form tubing into elegant curves and flowing shapes—without kinking, collapsing, or compromising the structure.

Once your ring takes shape, you’ll embellish it with faceted, tube-set gemstones for a clean and modern finish.

This class is perfect for those looking to expand their forming and stone setting skills with a fresh and fluid design approach.

Leave with a beautifully crafted ring and the confidence to keep bending the rules—literally!

Safety and preparation

Before class
Coming from Canada, I drop ship a pallet of my personal studio equipment. Quite a cost to do this; however, it is to my student’s advantage to have access to everything needed to complete this project. Because I want my students to have personalized attention in my classroom, I hire professional assistants who are amazing, qualified, and capable metalsmiths. My goal is to maintain a ratio of 4-5 students per instructor/assistant.
