In this three-hour workshop, you’ll learn the basics of sand casting and leave with a finished sterling silver signet ring. This class is perfect for those who love organic, raw styles—sand casting has a mind of its own, often leaving behind subtle imprints of sand and tiny imperfections that add to the ring’s character.

This course is for all skill levels and is designed to inspire, encourage, and support your creative journey. Over the term, we’ll build momentum and evolve together—led by curiosity, guided prompts, and your own unique mark-making style. Playful use of varied materials—ink, collage, pastels, acrylic, textiles, etc. (these may shift with the theme & mood of the term)
