In this class students will learn how to use steel and silicon carbide ball burs to carve a deep relief texture directly in sterling silver.

Once the textured section is finished we’ll solder rails to each side of it offer contrast as well as make the ring more comfortable to wear.

This class is ideal for those who want to increase their bur control, soldering skills and fabrication prowess.
