Class Description

Create your own handcrafted fidget ring while learning the foundations of traditional metalsmithing.

In this beginner-friendly workshop, students will work directly with sterling silver to form, texture, solder, and finish their own wearable fidget ring. You'll create a comfortable base ring and add movable spinner bands that freely rotate around the finished piece.

Throughout the class, Jenny will guide you through essential jewelry-making techniques including measuring and forming metal, soldering, texturing, shaping, and professional finishing.

No previous metalsmithing experience is required. You'll leave class with a completely finished sterling silver fidget ring made by you—and an introduction to techniques used by professional metalsmiths.

Students will learn:

• Ring sizing and forming
• Metal texturing
• Torch soldering
• Creating and fitting spinner bands
• Filing, shaping, and finishing metal

All tools and materials are provided.
