In this class, you will be guided through the process of determining the length of metal needed to
produce a particular ring size including for a ring that will be textured after soldering. Using various
styles of silver wire, you will create three different rings in the same size, to be worn as a set. As time
allows, you will add a small cabochon in a pre-made setting to one of the rings. All steps will be carefully
demonstrated and explained by an experienced and patient teacher.
Skills covered in this class include cutting wire to length, using a hammer to texture the metal, filing
edges, soldering, setting a cabochon, and finally polishing and finishing.
Cabochon availability and pricing will vary—or you can provide your own calibrated 5 mm stone. Cost of

When you leave class, you will not only have successfully made your first rings—but you will also take

started in your home studio.

After a burnishing spin, your piece will be ready to enamel. No long firing or tumbling times are required! We'll cover how to add enamel using a wet-packing technique, which colors are practically foolproof on silver, and how to torch fire the enamel using a butane microtorch.
You'll be able to watch the magic happen as the sandy grains of glass melt to become sparkling inlays in the silver. At the end of the class, we will cover finishing techniques for smoothing the enamel or removing errant grains to allow your silver to really shine.
Suggested tools to bring:
A small rotary tool can expedite the polishing and enamel cleanup but is not necessary. If you prefer to use one, please bring a face mask and safety glasses or a full face shield to use with the rotary tool. Any sanding/finishing of fired enamel will need to be done wet, so PPE is recommended to avoid the possible spray onto your face/eyes.
* Students will have access to tools and equipment in class. We are offering 10% off the tool kits for all students who register in advance! Select the option with the tool kit when you register. We will bring your tool kit to Tucson!
