Rock Candy Rings - My first live jewelry making class!

You may or may not know that I started a jewelry tutorial website last fall, JewelryTutorialHQ.com, where I have been making and sharing videos and tutorials on various jewelry making techniques. I have been having so much fun, and after hearing so many people urge me to teach a class, I'm finally going for it!

I am excited to say that I am teaching my first live jewelry class, "Rock Candy Rings," at The Artful Bead this summer! Class begins this Sunday, July 7th at the Carrollton location, but there are some classes on Saturdays as well. I would LOVE it if you would join me! Classes are limited in size, so be sure to register early.

A little bit about the project:

I will teach you how to form an adjustable size ring band from a straight piece of wire. We will hammer, forge, and form it into shape, then I'll show you my technique for wire wrapping some lovely gemstones to the band. You will create lovely stackable rings that you can wear home the very same day!

Downloadable PDF Tutorial:

I know lots of you aren't in the Dallas / Fort Worth area, but if you'd still like to learn how to make these gorgeous fun rings, you can purchase an instantly downloadable .PDF file from Craftsy or my Etsy Jewelry Supply Shop.

Hope to see y'all there!

TOOLS & SUPPLIES:

• 9.5” 20 gauge round wire, half hard
• 28” 26 gauge round wire, dead soft
• 34 faceted round 4mm beads
• round nose pliers
• flat needlenose pliers
• wire cutters
• 320 grit (extra fine) sandpaper
• 1.25” diameter cylinder or mandrel

• jewelry hammer (optional*)

* Optional items would be required if your preference is to hammer the hoops flat as shown in photos; it's not necessary but a matter of taste. Earrings made without this step are very similar, the wire will just be round and not flattened.
