If it is only good from afar, its far from good! In this class, we will focus on the fine details that will take our work to the next level. The class will begin with a design segment where students will brainstorm and sketch their ideas. Once a plan is in place, students will use techniques like sawing, filing, stamping, soldering, and forging to create intricately detailed shanks, bezels, and embellishments
to create a uniquely bold statement ring. This class is geared toward creative freedom, so no two projects will be the same!
