In this beginner ring making workshop students will learn the basics of filing, soldering, and sawing while making themselves simple hammered bands! Rings are one of the easiest beginners item to make when learning basic metalsmithing. We will start class with demos on each technique that will be used and then apply techniques with teacher guidance. Everyone will go home with 3 thin practice brass bands, 3 thin silver bands, 1 thick silver hammered band, and 1 extra thick silver band.
