Class Description

Create a beautiful adjustable wrap ring while building or renewing confidence in essential metalsmithing skills at the bench.

Choose from four ring templates, then make the design your own as Kim guides you through sawing, texturing with hammers and stamps, forming, simple soldering, and finishing.

You’ll complete your ring by setting a sparkling gemstone and exploring patina and polishing techniques that bring depth, contrast, and a professional finish to your work.

With plenty of opportunity to personalize your design, surface, and finish, you’ll leave class with a one-of-a-kind adjustable ring—and a collection of practical metalsmithing skills you can carry into future projects.
