Silver Clay Spinner Rings

I love a spinner ring! My mum always called me a footer - a Scots word for fidget. I was always playing with something in my hands! So silver clay spinner rings are great for me - combining two things I love to do! This project is perfect for those of us who want a little bit more from our jewellery!

In this on demand course, you will learn how to make three types of silver clay spinner rings...

The first - simple and elegant with deceptively simple ridges around the edges to make  sure the spinning rings stay in place.

The second - a wide band with a separate spinning ring, made and fired then shaped afterwards. So if you like hammering your Silver Clay - you'll love this method!

The third - we form the entire ring with fluted edges on the mandrel before firing. This is perfect for you if you don't want to spend extra money on silversmithing tools.

Which one will suit you?

In this workshop you will learn:

• How to successfully make a ring which fits you
• Understand ring sizing and how shrinkage affects your sizing
• How to create a spinner ring with ridged sides
• How to size the spinning ring successfully so it fits every time
• How to create a spinner ring and flute the ends post firing
• How to create a spinner ring and flute the ends pre firing
• How to create a spinning ring with a clay extruder

Please note – this online workshop is NOT suitable for a complete beginner. A working knowledge of clay is assumed.

A KILN is also necessary for this online workshop. I do offer a kiln firing service if you don’t have access to one.
