Plato Island Spinner Ring Workshop

SPINNER RING

Join Urban Alchemy at Plato Island Resort on Quesnel Lake for this very sought after workshop and create your own custom copper with sterling silver spinner or All Sterling hammered spinner ring. With tons of texturing or stamping options, no two rings are ever the same. This is your chance to get creative and make something truly yours.

In this hands-on 4-hour class, you’ll learn the art of silversmithing from start to finish. You’ll measure, cut, solder, hammer, stamp, shape, and polish your very own 9mm wide spinner ring with stacking spinner. This all happens in a fun, relaxed, and supportive space with an incredible view. No experience? That is fine – however, I do recommend taking the stacking ring or textured band ring in advance, so that you have a better understanding of soldering and metal.
