Type of Workshop: Project/Process
Prerequisite: None

What do you do with all those terrific beads, fired metal clay pieces, found objects, and beach stones that you just love but can't figure out how to use in a piece of jewelry?

Why not use them as the centerpiece of a ring?

In this low tech fast paced class you will learn how to take those fabulous objects and combine them with Faux Bone to form a one-of-a-kind ring.

The tools are basic, the material friendly and completely non-toxic and the process easy and accessible. Faux Bone is so strong you can rivet, nail, or screw anything to it without concern for cracking or breaking. Your ring can be simple and elegant or wild and funky. You can attach virtually anything you like to the Faux Bone and it can even be heated in a toaster oven and formed into just about any shape while flexible.

You will learn how to use a whole set of cold connections including riveting, micro-fasteners, putty epoxies and more.

Your ring can be colored with alcohol inks, acrylic paint, shoe polish or left pure white.

We will also cover how your ring can be hung as a pendant while not worn on your finger.

Participants can expect to finish at least one ring and probably more!
