Workshop List

Class Description: Perfect for both beginners and seasoned wire-workers, this class will guide you through the creation of four distinct wire ring designs: a three-stone ring, an adjustable wire ring, a thin wire ring, and a stacked button ring. Each style offers a unique approach to wire manipulation and adornment, providing you with a variety of skills and techniques to enhance your jewelry-making repertoire. You will also learn how to use a ring mandrel to size your rings, how to incorporate beads and buttons into your ring designs, how to end off your ring bands and how to use a variety of wire gauges in your ring making. The materials fee includes a plastic ring mandrel, and all the wire and beads you need to create the four rings that you’ll take home from this class. You’ll have a choice of a variety of wire colors, beads and buttons. You’ll also come away with detailed, printed instructions for your future ring making. Other tools needed in this class will be available to borrow during the class and to purchase at discounted prices, if desired. What to Bring: Feel free to bring any special stones, beads, or buttons you would like to incorporate into your rings. We encourage creativity and personalization! Join us for a fun, engaging session where you’ll not only learn valuable jewelry-making skills but also leave with beautiful handmade rings to wear and share detailed, printed instructions for applying these techniques to future projects. Tools will be available for purchase or borrowing in class. For more information and to sign up for the workshop, email Susan at susan@susanryza.com or call 310-944-1299.
