Prerequisite: Metalsmithing 1
Want to capture a mountain scene, landscape or a cityscape? In this workshop you will fabricate a ring from sterling silver that does just that.
We will talk about creating this ring with multiple metals i.e. silver and/or gold. Students are welcomed to bring gold to create their ring in 2 metal colors.

Got scrap? All your clean scrap metal lying around can become useful material again. In this workshop students will learn how to pour ingots and how to roll out flat sheet with a rolling mill! Students will have the option to make a Mountain ring with the metal they roll out or sheet metal they bring.

With only about one ounce of clean scrap metal, you will be able to make some rings. This class should hone your knowledge of metalsmithing techniques.
