Service Description

SKILL LEVEL - Prior experience recommended (a little more technically advanced than other sessions) prior silver soldering experience is an advantage.   This workshop is a variation on previous spinner ring sessions and during this workshop you will add not 1 but 2 silver spinners to your ring, one with a small stone setting and one with an accent shape attached. We will start by practicing some simple texturing techniques before choosing one to add to the main part of the ring/band. Once the main part of the ring is textured, cut to size, formed and soldered, you will make 2 simple slim rings from round wire as the spinners. Finally you will add a solderable accent shape to one ring and a small bezel cup to the other and set a stone before assembling everything. There will be a few different accent designs to choose from such as flower, heart, star, moon, circle or butterfly and the accent can be silver, copper or brass to add a contrasting colour. You can choose to create a mini scene such as a landscape and attach a star accent for example that then spins around the scene and add a stone to represent the moon. Or use stamps to create a flower and leaf pattern in a garden like scene and attach a butterfly accent that then 'flies' around as it spins and a stone to represent the sun. Alternatively you can just add a hammer texture to the main part of the band and add any of the shapes. There will be plenty of design options to personalise your spinner ring as I have lots of stamps to choose from and a variety of textures can be achieved with hammers (You can of course choose not to add an accent if you prefer).
