Stacking Rings with Flair: A mix of metalsmithing and metal clay skills

In this class we join Sylvie from Halstead Jewelry Supplies to create a set of fun, stacking rings.
We’ll mix our metal clay and metalsmithing skills to create mix and match rings. Sylvie will
cover making ring bands from wire, soldering, tube setting, creating metal clay
embellishments, and how to make your own molds with Impressive Putty reusable mold
material.

We’ll be covering a lot – but it will open up your possibilities for rings and beyond!
This workshop will discuss all necessary tools needed and how to create your own solder set
up. Soldering is a great sister skill to your metal clay skills and can really allow for new designs!

This class is open to all levels, including beginners, and will be held online – with access to
recordings! Join us for this 4 hour class and create your own set of stacking rings
