Struggling to find a ring that’s unique, rustic, and eco-friendly? Then why not create your own copper rings? This workshop allows you to express your style while also encouraging the upcycling of recycled metals, thereby minimizing waste in our society.
By repurposing metals like old copper pipes, you can craft one-of-a-kind rings that are both environmentally friendly and truly personal. So, let’s get your friends together, unleash your imagination, and transform copper piping into some awesome rings.
The workshop will run for 3 hours during which you can make 3-4 rings. If you would like to make additional rings, supplies can be purchased during the workshop.
The basic metalsmithing techniques of ring making including metal texturing, tube cutting, filing, sanding and polishing will be explored using a variety of tools. You will have the opportunity to add your own creative touches to your rings along the way while learning key techniques and skills.
