Beginning Jewelry: Reticulated & Fused Band with Bronze and Bezel-Set Stone
In this hands-on metalsmithing workshop, students will create a richly textured sterling silver band incorporating reticulation, bronze fusing, and a bezel-set stone. Participants will explore organic surface development through controlled heat while learning clean fabrication techniques to complete a wearable, expressive ring. Each student will leave with one handcrafted reticulated and fused sterling silver band featuring bronze accents and a bezel-set stone. Each ring will be completely unique.
What Students Will Learn: • Preparing silver for reticulation • Depletion gilding • Reticulation heat control • Introductory bronze fusing • Bezel fabrication and stone setting • Ring forming and sizing • Basic finishing and polishing
