This course is designed for beginners who are interested in learning basic silver smithing skills and techniques to make a set of sterling silver stacking rings.
Over two sessions you will learn the following basic silversmithing techniques:
- How to accurately measure silver to create a specific ring size
- Sawing
- Forming
- Soldering
- Filing
- Adding texture to silver

Each ring in your set of stacking rings will help to develop specific skills, such as how best to prevent marring the silver when forming a ring, matching seams on patterned silver, adding embellishments, and hammer texturing.
