Description

Hammer, wrap, harden and transmutate! In this two-day workshop, students will explore the properties of copper metal through ring making. We will start by covering the foundations for making your own rings, such as; finding your ring size, different uses for different gauge wire, cold connection exploration, and how to wield the tools of a metalsmith! Just in time for the holidays, students will be able to fabricate multiple rings for themselves or loved ones. During this workshop we will explore; wire design techniques, wire wrapping, work hardening and transmutation with hammers, and how to make your own patina with natural ingredients. Find a rock outside or bring in a tiny treasure and learn how to turn it into a wearable ring! All other materials and tools are covered in the cost of tuition. This youth program is a two-day workshop held on December 3rd and 10th from 3:30-5:30 PM. It is designed for students ages 13 to 17.
