A WARM WELCOME to Laney Clark! | Close Range Mountain Ring | Sunday, February 1, 2026 | 8:00 am – 5:00 pm (one-hour lunch)
$290.00
Complex curves meets classic bezel set turquoise ring.
We will learn how to draw a quick, casual mountain range, pierce it out, form and solder it to a super comfortable comfort fit band along with traditional bezel setting a stone.
Goal is to leave class with a show stopper of a statement ring.
We’re thrilled to bring
LANEY CLARK
to THE DESERT 2026!
LANEY HAS BEEN MAKING METAL JEWELRY FOR 30 YEARS.
HER WORK IS MOST OFTEN INSPIRED BY THE ABUNDANCE OF NATURE THAT SURROUNDS HER IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, BUT OCCASIONALLY SHE CAN BE PERSUADED BY THE BOLD, STRAIGHT LINES OF THE URBAN SCENERY OF THE CITY.
EACH PIECE OF JEWELRY SHE CREATES IS A SMALL PIECE OF ART MEANT TO BE WORN.
