Adult Workshop: 2 Hammered Sterling Silver Stacking Rings
Thursday, December 3rd 6-9:00 pm
Join Hali MacLaren of HKM Jewelry in a jewelry making workshop to make yourself a pair of hammered silver rings! Bring your bestie or your lover and make matching or missmatched bands to treasure. Students will learn the basics of working with sterling silver using various jeweler's tools and techniques. We will cover sizing, sawing, soldering, forming, texturing, stretching and finishing round silver ring bands. Please wear sneakers or boots, tie back long hair and avoid loose fitting clothes in the studio.
Byob is allowed after the torch process has completed. Doors open at 5:45...
“I create handmade jewelry that is inspired by the sea, to spread awareness about its importance and beauty. Each piece is uniquely created and designed to last for generations. Growing up, I spent every summer in the water and sands of the Jersey coast. My collection of shells and other sea treasures is extensive, taking up almost every inch of space in my studio, and home.
In silver and gold, I fabricate, carve and have cast using traditional metalsmithing techniques and unconventional objects from the Atlantic shoreline. My skills come from a BFA in Jewelry and a minor in Photography from The University of the Arts in 2014. After graduating, I built a studio in West Chester and began my HKM Jewelry line inspired by nautical themes.”
