SILVER I.5: RINGS ABOUND
INSTRUCTOR: BEVERLY FOX
You will be making as many rings as you can in the time we have together. This is a playful process and one that helps the imagination soar.
Cabochon on a band - This sounds simple, but the design can vary enormously when you make it your own. There will be a wide selection of ring band stock, as well as plain bands that can be roller printed, hammer textured or stamped.
Spinner Ring - Oh what fun! This is an anticlastic band with a wire or two or three that spin inside.
Stack 3 Rings - Delicate or not, these little rings have a little stone or a silver ball on them and they stack.
Rail ring - Make it wavy or straight. Add texture to the inside, as well as balls stones or flat shapes inside the rails.
Cha Ching Ring - On your band will be a wire soldered down with some wires that have balled ends. This ring has a lot of movement and is very fun to wear!
You will learn to use the Smith Little Torch if you haven’t yet. The class fee covers the use of a comprehensive tool kit I put together, an 8-page handout that all my students receive and a step-by-step page for each project. The materials fee is a base fee. I will have silver, cabochons and accent stones for sale.
