Spinner Ring with Fireable Stone

It's an intermediate to advance course, given in very small and detailed steps. The steps are made simple for everyone to follow and complete the project successfully. You have the option to create your own Spinner Ring exploring your own inspiration, however you should follow and apply the techniques provided.

I will teach the course via Zoom. The presentations will be pre-recorded in order to avoid any unpleasant surprises from using the technology live. The course will be presented in small 'digestible' steps and I will be there for you, to support and help you while you're working, also to answer to all of your questions.

The participants can work on their own pace during the session. Also, they will have access to the workshop within 24 hours in order to catch up.

In this half day workshop participants will learn through the online course the following skills:

• How to work with metal clay as if it was a solid metal, using some silversmithing techniques
• How to calculate the size of a wide ring band for perfect fit.
• How to make a wide ring band with Artclay Silver 999.
