Are ya'll interested in making gorgeous, soldered, gemstone rings? This is the class for you! My new online workshop, Rings for Rookies, is an adventure in stones and silver soldering.
This class is aimed at beginners but, honestly, there's lots here for more advanced students. Especially if you're not familiar with working with a butane torch. Wait...WHAT?? Yes! You'll be doing all of your soldering with a friendly little butane torch!
That's one of the best features of this workshop. I'll show you all the subtleties and nuances of soldering everything from layers to delicate bezels and embellishments, all with an easy to use butane torch. You don't need an expensive, scary, mixed gas torch set up! This class makes soldering accessible.
I'm also really excited to show you how to add my special, little peek-a-boo bezels. We'll be doing them both on the ring band and on the bezel (bezel on bezel). They're so beautiful and they add that amazing little surprise that will make your pieces special.
You'll have opportunities to get creative in this class as I'll show you how to work with different bezel types. You'll be sawing out your pieces so that they have a beautiful, layered edge and I'll also show you how to make a double stone ring.
If you've ever taken an online class with me, you know I give it my all...all the info you need to complete a gorgeous project. My classes are an excellent value and you can watch as many times as you like, any time you like (jammie friendly!), for the duration of the class. I'll also be there to answer any questions...for the entire class time. If you've never taken a class with me, I'd love to have you!
You'll learn silversmithing and we'll make some beautiful rings together!
