With an emphasis on developing texture and design, you will have the opportunity to conceptualize and fabricate rings, bracelets, earrings, and pendants while learning new processes.
This workshop will begin with learning how to size, form, and solder sterling silver stacking rings or a spinner ring. An emphasis will be placed on surface texture using metal stamps and hammers. Learn the differences between soldering and fusing, as you cut, shape, and fuse fine silver wire into a bracelet or pair of earrings. And on day three, take advantage of your filings and small silver scrap from the week to form and fuse a textured pair of earrings and/or pendant. You will also have the option to include a bezel-set stone in your design.
