Please note:
This is a two-week class occurring on two consecutive weeks (1st session 15th April and 2nd session on the 22nd April, fee covers both). Please come at the same time in the second week as you do in the first.
The price of silver is NOT included, because it will vary depending on the size of the ring (and the number of rings) you make. Silver costs are based on the size and weight of the finished item and can range between a few dollars to hundreds, this will be explained in the class and you will have full control over this cost in class
