About this class

Grab a hammer, choose a stamp, and get ready to make your mark!

In this hands-on workshop, Hoss Rogers takes metal stamping well beyond the basics, showing you how to create crisp, intentional impressions and turn them into jewelry with personality.

Working with Hoss’s extensive collection of metal stamps, you’ll learn to stamp directly onto your metal—or take things a step further by stamping individual designs onto sheet metal, sawing them out, and soldering them onto your piece to create layers, dimension and one-of-a-kind detail.

Along the way, you’ll stamp, saw, solder, form and finish as Hoss shares the tips and techniques that make all the difference between simply hitting a stamp and creating a great impression.

Bold or subtle. Quirky or classic. Tell a story, create a pattern, or simply choose an image because it makes you smile. The design is yours.

Stamp it. Saw it. Solder it. Wear it.

Come make some noise with Hoss—and leave with jewelry that has your mark all over it.
