Shannon Bundschuh | Wild Horse Ring | Monday, January 31, 2022 | 9:00 am until 4:30 pm
$185.00
Join me as I walk you through making a piece that will commemorate your time in Arizona. We will begin by choosing a locally mined stone called Wild Horse, as well as a sterling silver casting of an actual succulent and a casting of a mini wax carved steer head, to top this southwestern inspired statement piece. Much like the painted rock petroglyphs tell a story, so will your ring band. We will design and create interest along our bands by sawing and layering, texturing and stamping.
This one day class will cover many techniques including concepting, bezel making, soldering, sawing, working with pre-made castings, texturing, stamping and all the tools required for these tasks.
Wild horses couldn’t drag me away from these Southwestern inspired rings!
