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.

About

Growing up on the New Jersey shore, Cat McCadden was always inspired by the places where land meets water. When she began designing jewelry, she poured her love of the coast into her work. After moving to Seattle, Cat began teaching classes to share the creativity of jewelry-making with others. "I love the tactile process of holding raw material and imagining its final form in metal," she says, adding, "Guiding others through the creation of their very own heritage object is an absolute honor."

For this class, you'll need the included Ring Kit, and matches or a lighter. See link below for more details.
