The Experience

keyboard_arrow_up

You love the handcrafted jewelry that you see at fine boutiques and art fairs (and here at Uncommon Goods…*wink*). Those intriguingly original pieces have inspired you to wonder what you’d create if you only knew how—and now you can find out. Join metalsmith and jeweler Cat McCadden for a live virtual class where you’ll design your own stunning statement ring.

  • Before class, think about how you want your ring to look and who will be wearing it (many of Cat’s students take her classes to design their wedding bands).
  • You may even want to sketch out your idea and bring it to class, along with an object that inspires you, like a memento, a photo, or maybe something found in nature.
  • This experience is limited to just 14 participants, so you’ll have Cat’s personal guidance as you carve a band from jeweler’s wax, then shape and sand it into your unique vision.
  • When the mold is just right, you’ll send it to Cat’s Seattle studio and she’ll use the ancient process of lost-wax casting to craft the ring from precious metal and finish it to your exact specifications. The result will be an extraordinary piece to wear or gift—an heirloom-worthy treasure that’s truly one of a kind.
Class length: 2 hours
Comes with the class: Cat’s Carve Your Own Ring Kit includes all the materials and tools you’ll need—even the envelope to send your mold to Cat’s studio.
