Stackable Rings
This one-day onsite workshop is a fun crash course into an everyday wearable, perfect for any occasion - a set of stacking rings!
In Stackable Rings you’ll learn to make a stack of hand-textured sterling silver rings, complete with an array of bezel-set cabochon stones or metal accents. With each demonstrated step, you will be learning fundamental jewelry making skills, making this a great course for beginners as well as those with more experience. We will texture, form, and solder rings, bezel-set stones, and complete rings to a desired finish.
Join us in the studio to make a one-of-a-kind stack of rings for yourself or a loved one!
