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!
Meet the instructor
Emily joined the Studiomate Artists’ community at Metalwerx in 2015. Since then, she has been enjoying the Metalwerx community, pursuing her quest for skill acquisition in techniques involving metal fabrication of jewelry and small-scale functional objects. Her favorite metalworking techniques include fusing, soldering, and texturing; lately she has been focused on developing skills in the art of filigree. As a life-long rock-hound, she also has a fascination with gems, pearls, and other materials’ potential as adornment for pieces made using classic silversmithing techniques.
In 2020, Emily joined the Virtual Course Team at Metalwerx, and continues to host many of Metalwerx’ virtual classes, working with an incredible line-up of instructors and dedicated students from around the globe. When it comes to Metalwerx, Emily considers herself to always be the luckiest person in the room!
