| Dinner Ring Workshop Spruill Center for the Arts Atlanta, GA Saturday, October 30, 2010 10:30am-6:00pm Spectacular rings can be elegantly bold and glamorous while still being exceptionally light and airy. Named for the rings worn in the evening in past eras of opulence, a few basic architectural principles make the structure of this ring extremely wearable, while creating many design options.
This ring was a featured project by Victoria in Jewelry Artist: Lapidary Journal magazine and in 10 Wire Jewelry Projects: Best of Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist, Volume 1. Come learn all the possibilities and create rings of your own. Students must have beginning jewelry skills and know how to solder with a torch. Victoria's internationally acclaimed DVD, Metal Techniques of Bronze Age Masters: Rings, has sold all over the world.
