Added additional Ring in a Day 8/15/10

We have added an additional Ring in a Day class this coming weekend. There is room in both the Saturday and Sunday class on August 14th and August 15th. This is a great beginners class because you need no experience to learn to make a sterling silver band ring. You will learn to solder, form, texture and polish your creation.
