Hoops

Class Description

In this workshop learn how to create simple and elegant hoops with a choice between 2 variations: round, or square wire. These pieces will be sized according to each participant's preference, for a personal touch. The materials provided allow for a range between 1.5” to 4” hoops. Techniques such as sizing your hoops, high temperature silver soldering, wire twisting, stamping designs, simple hammer work, and finishing metal surfaces will be taught. Students will leave with finished hoops, ready to wear.

All tools, equipment, and materials will be supplied including sterling silver for 1 pair of hoop earrings with hook ear wires, up to 4” diameter in size.
