In this class, you will learn the basics about ring making with silver metal clay. Even without any previous experience in ring making with clay, we guarantee you that, you will create at least two pure silver rings to take home with you.
Here are a few of the skills you'll learn through the course

Determination of the right ring size ( considering the shrinkage of the material )

-
Firing the rings in the kiln

After firing, the rings will be polished and finished with a patina, if you choose this type of finishing

Set the pearl in place
