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.
