Join us for this fun and engaging workshop, where you'll create a stunning sterling silver gemstone ring. You'll learn some basic principals of metalsmithing along the way, including filing, soldering, shaping stone-setting and finishing. Choose from over 15 types of gemstones!

This workshop is taught by Shelby Evans, owner and maker behind Modeco Jewelry, a woman-owned jewelry line based in Portland, Oregon.
