Introduction to Soldering: Mixed Metal Ring Workshop

Join Metalsmith Jo Figueras, for an introduction to metal bracelet design and fabrication as we explore the core skills every maker needs in a relaxed, hands-on environment designed for beginners and curious creatives. You’ll learn how to take a simple piece of metal and transform it into a finished, wearable piece. From concept to completion, you’ll design, shape, and finish your own ring. By the end of class, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that feels solid, intentional, and entirely your own. This class is about jewelry design with confidence, understanding the materials, and learning how to tap into your inner creative as a maker. We’ll cover: • The basics of working with metal • Techniques for adding texture and stamped details • Filing and finishing for smooth, professional edges This class gives you a real foundation in metalwork while still keeping the process approachable, creative, and satisfying. No experience necessary, and no worries about struggling with complicated fabrication. Just bring your curiosity and a willingness to try something fun and new. This event is limited to 6 participants.
