Create seamless sterling silver/copper hollow rings using a low tech, low cost method of making traditional diffusion bonded mokume-gane!

REQUIRED: Signed studio waiver (provided in class), safety glasses, ear plugs, ventilated respirator (3M #8515 recommended), leather work gloves, closed-toed leather shoes. NOTE: Safety items are available for purchase at the Delaplaine. Optional: Bring any basic jeweler's tools that you may have (saws, files, bench pins, scribes, etc.); for an additional $65 students can purchase a refractory brick mini-furnace and a wood and brass cleaning jig at the Delaplaine.
