Jewelry Boot Camp: Fine Silver Rings in a Day

Create your own unique .999 pure silver ring using fine silver metal clay and wear it home. Learn the techniques to size, form, refine, embellish and set afire in place cubic zirconia into your ring. Make your ring as plain or glitzy as you wish, with or without a stone. After it’s fired and polished, you can leave it bright silver or add a patina. You will also learn to torch fire the silver metal clay so you can continue creating at home. If you have clay left over from your ring(s) you can make earrings or charms and torch fire those if you wish.

At this year’s Jewelry Boot Camp, choose from 10 different workshops with 8 different jewelry artists all in one weekend. This lovely weekend of workshops is just in time for Mother’s Day, and the perfect way to kick off a summer of creativity. Treat yourself, or the special women in your life with a handmade gift you create. Shop the Friday night JBC Showcase—special creations by our instructors, students, and volunteers. It’s a sparkling celebration of the Shake Rag Alley community! For more Jewelry Boot Camp information, see https://shakeragalley.org/retreat-index/jewelry-boot-camp/.
