Peoria Art Guild

In this one-day workshop, students will learn to design the type and shape of negative space that they want to adorn their rings and then put their plan into motion. They will cut their silver to size and shape. Once the shape is ready, they will solder their shapes shut, form and flatten them with hammers and pliers, then build their ring by adding the ring shank. Soldering the ring shank closed, then a quick dip in the pickle pot. Finished by hand polishing. Perfect for metalworking beginners interested in Jewelrymaking!
