About

Learn how to blend the ancient practice of inlay work with modern aesthetics.

Your materials kit will include two sterling silver channel ring blanks in the size of your choosing. If you only finish one in class, you will have a second ring to practice on during future open studios.

Day 1: Learn how to cut small pieces of gemstone material for a precise fit and inlay them into your ring.

Day 2: Continue inlay work, learn how to polish, and finish your new channel inlay ring.

Details

  • Level: Beginner/ Intermediate
  • Registration closes Oct. 20 to ensure your preferred ring blank is ordered.
