Course Details

Craft your own rings in this introduction to metal-smithed jewellery making! In this quick paced one session workshop you’ll learn some metalworking fundamentals to turn raw metal into shining wearable rings. Use hammers and stamps to add textures and simple lettering to customise your creation!

 

Techniques:

  • Use sizers and jeweller’s callipers to measure ring size

  • Use files and sanding to refine and smooth metal edges and surfaces

  • Use hammers and stamps to texture and form metal

  • Use jeweller’s flame torches to solder join metal

  • Use Dremel & bench polishers to refine & finish metal casts into wearable jewellery

 

Bring a water bottle and snack for morning tea break.
