Be inspired by the romance of ancient times as you learn to make a beautiful Etruscan style ring. Students will fine-tune their skills in both soldering and fusing, preparing wire and learning an ancient Roman method of weaving while fabricating a statement ring with a hand braided shank and bezel set stone. We will cover how to use braiding in multiple types of rings, and if time allows, other braided projects will be discussed. (ie: earrings, bracelets, etc) This workshop is limited to only eight students. Tools will be available for use.
