Beginner Silver Ring Bands One-Day Workshop

Artascope Studios

$99

09:30 AM - 04:30 PM on Sun, 20 Jul 2025

Sunday, July 20th from 9:30AM-4:30PM

In this workshop students will make their own silver rings from start to finish. This class will cover basic metalsmithing skills, such as cutting, shaping, and joining metal. You will customize your ring bands with surface design techniques such as filing, stamping, and hammering.

$99 workshop fee does not include materials. The $25 materials kit can be purchased at the beginning of the workshop. (For safety, be sure to wear closed toe shoes and have long hair pulled back with clips or in a ponytail.)

We will have an hour break for lunch midday. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.

Open to adults only. Please contact us directly if you are interested in seeing metalsmithing options for teens.

About the instructor: Kim Round got her degree in art at Florida State University and taught jewelry workshops in Tallahassee, FL before making the move back home to Maine. She has been teaching Beginning Metalsmithing and other workshops at Artascope since 2016 and is thrilled to be part of a friendly & creative community. She is a member of the Maine Crafts Association and her work can be found at the Center for Maine Craft and Archipelago/The Island Institute store.
