August Project: Half Moon Ring
Monday, 3rd August (Thursday, 6th August, if the Monday class is full)
Meeting Location: Metalsmithing Lab in the HGMS Ed Center, 7901 Bailey Cove Road SE, Huntsville.
The August project will be a relatively simple ring. The more experienced you are the more design options you’ll have. This ring will have two separate elements on top and a double split shank band. A stone could also be set depending on the design, but this is optional.
We’ll learn how to size rings with a gap in the band and saw split shanks. Also covered will be the use of the disc cutter and the rolling mill.
If working in silver the cost will be approximately $16.-20.00 dollars. I estimated generously. This doesn’t include a stone or materials to set it. We have some silver available for purchase or you may bring your own, no less than 22g sheet and 3mm double half round.
Kit includes base metal, written directions and all consumables. Cost is $7.00 for copper instead of silver.
Note: There are nine seats available. If there’s sufficient interest, we will hold another session the following Thursday.
