Gemstone Stacking Rings Workshop - Tuesday 22nd October (10.30am to 2pm)
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.
This is a slightly more advanced class so taking a previous class with me (or if you are a crafter) would be beneficial. Minimum age is 13 and under 16s must be accompanied by a paying parent or guardian.
