​In this class we will practice primary techniques to complete two to three stacking rings, set with stones. We will practice measuring, cutting, forming, soldering rings and bezels, setting cabochon design, textures and finishing. There are only six seats in this class to maximize the student teacher ratio. This is an excellent class if you have never taken a jewelry course or would like to brush up on your jewelry skills.

About the Instructor
Rocky started metalsmithing in college out of pure curiosity with no previous knowledge of what metalsmithing or understanding of how to get started, but he took to it quickly. Jewelry crafting ignited something inside Rocky that was already there, it just needed a spark.

Rocky's metalsmithing journey continued as he received a graduate degree in engineering.  Engineering and metal arts have gone hand-in-hand for Rocky for more than 25 years.  Over the years Rocky has studied with many master jewelers, enabling him to pay-it-forward at BoMA.
