Gemstone Stacking Rings Workshop - Saturday 15th February (10.30am to approx. 2.30pm)
Description
In this class you will design, size and make 3 sterling silver stacking rings, and set a gemstone into one of them. You’ll be taken through each step and will learn a variety of techniques such as ring sizing, cutting, shaping, texturing, soldering, filing, polishing and finishing. Classes are restricted to 5 people to ensure you will have all of the tuition and support you need.
These rings are made from a heavier wire than the basic stacking rings class so your rings will have a heavier, more expensive feel! A variety of gemstone colours will be available.
At the end of the class you’ll have 3 pretty rings to take home and wear or give as a gift.
No experience is required and the class is suitable for complete beginners. Minimum age is 13 and under 16s must be accompanied by a paying parent or guardian.
How long is the class?
The length of the class is approx. 3.5 to 4 hours and includes a refreshment break. If your class runs over lunch time, please feel free to bring a packed lunch. Please note that the class times are approximate and may run longer or shorter.
