From Alloy to Adornment: Ring-Making + Soldering Workshop
Join us in the studio for a beginner-friendly metalsmithing workshop where you’ll turn raw metal into a beautiful, one-of-a-kind ring. In this hands-on class, you’ll learn how to form, size, solder, texture, and finish your own rings using a variety of traditional jewelry techniques.
We’ll explore:
  • Soldering methods
  • Adding texture with hammers and specialty tools
  • Techniques for achieving clean, professional finishes
  • Options for creating stackable rings — or even your own wedding bands!
Brass and copper are provided, and sterling silver is available for purchase if you'd like to work in a precious metal. No experience needed — just curiosity and a willingness to play with fire in a safe, supportive environment.
Come curious. Leave with a ring you’ll be proud to wear.
This class is great for individuals and couples, as well as for a date idea, team-building activity, holiday party, birthday, or bachelorette party.
This experience would also be a unique gift for her, a gift for mom, a Christmas gift, or a gift for couples.

Recent reviews of Ring-Making and Soldering Workshop

  • 5/5 from Zoe Humphreys, attended Jun 2026: Class was very fun and easy with our instructor, there’s a lot of designs to choose from or you can come in with your own ideas. At the end of the day you get to take home a ring of sentimental value.
  • 5/5 from Grace Mittenthal, attended Mar 2026: My class with Jackie was phenomenal! Learned so much in such a short time. I had a chance to meet one of her partners. The time I spent with them was so laid back, I haven’t had that much fun in such a creative environment. I am definitely going back! The ring that I made was intended as a gift but I’ve decided to keep it. So I have reason to return! Looking forward to “chilling out” with them soon!! Ladies, make it happen!!
