In this workshop students will make their own silver rings from start to finish. This class will cover basic metalsmithing skills, such as cutting, shaping, and joining metal. You will customize your ring bands with surface design techniques such as filing, stamping, and hammering.
Workshop cost does not include materials. The estimated $40* materials kit can be purchased at the beginning of the workshop. (For safety, be sure to wear closed toe shoes and have long hair pulled back with clips or in a ponytail.)
*NOTE: This is an approximate kit cost and actual cost may be different due to the metals market fluctuation in 2026.
6-hour Workshop Cost - Non-members: $125 / Members: $100
NOTE: Eventbrite charges non-refundable processing fees for online payments and now displays these fees in the total ticket price shown on this event listing.
We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.
Open to adults only. Please contact us directly if you are interested in seeing metalsmithing options for teens.
