Stamped or Hammered Cuff Bracelet

1.5 Hours | Beginner Friendly 

A quick and creative workshop where you’ll design and make your own hand-stamped or hammered cuff bracelet. Choose from stamping words, textures, patterns, and simple finishing techniques to create a piece that feels completely your own out of copper or aluminum. Sterling Silver upgrade option is available! 

This class is perfect for beginners, kids (with guardian supervision), or anyone wanting a fun and quick experience with a wearable result. This is my shortest class and requires the least tool usage. 

Simple Stacker Ring Set

2.5 Hours | Beginner Friendly 

Create your own set of 3 handmade sterling silver stacker rings in this fun, beginner-friendly silversmithing class. You’ll learn the basics of measuring, shaping, soldering, texturing, and finishing while designing a set of rings you can mix, match, and wear every day. We provide .925 Sterling Silver so that your stackers will last a lifetime! 5+ band design options + optional upgrades (embellishments and thicker band choices) 

This is a great introduction to jewelry making and a favorite for girls nights, date nights, and first-time makers. 

Pendant or Gemstone Ring Workshop

3–3.5 Hours | Beginner Friendly 

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll create a sterling silver pendant or ring using traditional silversmithing techniques. You will choose your stone and your ring band to create something that you will want to wear!! Learn how to measure, shape metal, set a cabochon stone, and finish your piece. We provide .925 sterling silver and .999 fine silver as well as semi precious gemstones so that your piece will last a lifetime! 

This class is a perfect next step for beginners who want a slightly deeper dive into silversmithing while still keeping the experience fun and approachable. This is still a great class for first timers, it is just a little bit more in depth than some of my other options :)
