We still have room in Sarah Chapman's Riveted Rings class this Saturday from 10 am to 2 pm. This is a very cool class if you have any interest in metalsmithing. Sarah is an excellent metalsmith & teacher and has been teaching at Caravan for 16 years!
In this workshop we will make a textured cold connected, riveted band ring. Metal stamps and hammers will be used to texture the sterling silver sheet. Then students will learn to hammer and form their sheet into a ring. To complete the ring we will learn a cold connection technique known as a tube rivet. Students can also use the liver of sulfur process for a darkened oxidized surface or have the option of applying a matte finish to their ring.

Sarah Chapman is a studio metalsmith who shows her work at juried art fairs and in Midwest galleries. Sarah works with sterling silver, copper, brass, and sometimes gold to create her jewelry, while patinas are used to give these metals richer tones. Found objects or semi-precious stones often reside in or become a part of her metal structures. Each piece is unique, solely designed and fabricated by Sarah in her Chicago studio.
