Inspired by the current exhibition, Rings! 1968 – 2021, which captures avant-garde notions of contemporary jewelry and showcases the limitless creative potential of the ring, this beginner level workshop is a great way to explore the metal arts and test out materials and processes before investing in tools and equipment.
Learn the basic principles of melting pewter metal, pouring it into a simple ring mold, then cutting, sizing, texturing, sanding and polishing your own ring with a variety of jeweler’s tools. Participants will leave with a finished band ring, as well as an understanding of one of the many ways that raw metal can be transformed into a refined piece of jewelry.
