LLCFT 313 - Rings as Sculpture, the Hollow Form

Learn the forming techniques needed to shape metal into rings that are wearable pieces of art. The secret of this sculptural form is the lightness over size, due to the hollow inside. We will use metalsmithing skills such as filing, forming, piercing, fitting and soldering. We will complete the project by extending the form or setting a stone. Any level of student is welcome to take this workshop. Materials will be discussed the first night of class, and project cost will vary depending on the type of materials and stones chosen for your design. Class is limited to 8. Special fee is for first night supplies, facility, and tool rental.
