Reticulated Ring Workshop

Students will spend the day learning how to prep their reticulation silver for this unique process and then how to create the beautiful textures seen in reticulation. From here they will then learn how their flame size and positioning of it can change the patterns created on the surface of the reticulation silver. Once students have created their piece of reticulation silver, they will learn how to turn it into a unique statement ring. It's a full day of creative fun geared for both the beginner silversmith and the experienced.

Tidal Earrings

Learn how simple a tube setting can be with this project. Students will have a selection of Cubic Zirconias to choose from and can use either a mix of gold filled wire and sterling silver or just plain sterling silver wire for their earrings. If you don't like earrings, then make two pendants. One for you and one for a friend.  This is a great intro to working with gold-filled wire and mixed metals.  You'll nestle all six of your bezels between numerous strips of rolled, gold-filled (or sterling) wire to create a stunning radiating pattern that looks fabulous from any direction.

In this class, you will learn how to make 3 simple stacking bands, each unique in its own way using different texturing techniques. In this class you will learn how to construct simple sterling silver rings by learning skills such as annealing, ring sizing, shaping silver wire, soldering, hammering, texturing and polishing.

Fold Form Leaf Earrings and Pendant

This fun and one of a kind project is a great way to learn fold forming. Guided by their instructor, students will discover the magic of transforming a 2-dimensional piece of a silver sheet into a set of beautiful 3-dimensional leaves, which they will then make into a pair of earrings and a pendant. Using different types of hammers, students will learn how to move the silver in different ways to make their leaves come alive. They will then choose semi-precious stones as accent pieces for their leaves, and will be shown how to add the stones to their earrings and pendants with the addition of bezel cups. Each of
