Rings 360° Workshop Description
Adorning the finger has been a tradition for ages. Rings are loaded with historical meaning. They can symbolize love /marriages, evoke nostalgia, embody authority or status, and portray accomplishments or affiliations. They can be made for everyday use or for special events. They can be understated or fancifully flamboyant.
This class will explore ring design, fabrication, stone setting, and assembling techniques that are related to the ring concept. Aesthetic value of jewelry comes from the artist’s imagination and execution rather than from the size of the stone or the value of the metal. We will fashion rings of personal importance, expression, and adornment. The class will center around both lecture and demonstration with plenty of time for individual attention. We will attempt to create jewelry that is unpredictable, honest, visually complex, bold, confident, simple and beautiful. This workshop is designed for beginner to intermediate metal smiths.
