Morning Ring Class every Wednesday in July and August

Heidi Lowe Gallery is offering a Morning Ring Class every Wednesday in July and August, from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Class instructor and gallery owner/artist Heidi Lowe has been teaching this popular beginners’ class for over five years. “I made my first ring when I was sixteen at Cape Henlopen High School and it’s nice to be able to share that experience with others,” states Lowe.

 “Whether you tend to be a more creative or analytical thinker, metalsmithing is something anyone can learn,” says Lowe. “This class is both a technical learning experience and an artistic exploration. The experience of making a ring is so special that I have found most will wear it for many years, and some return to start the experience all over again.”

Each class is set in an intimate, stress-free environment. Students are first taught the basic metalsmithing techniques of sawing, hammering, soldering, filing, sanding and finishing. They then create a sterling silver ring that they can choose to customize to fit their personal style.  Everyone leaves with a completed ring! The cost of each class is $100 per-student (includes materials). Class size is limited to four to eight students. Registration is available online and is required at least one week in advance.

Heidi Lowe Gallery also offers “Lovely Rings by Hand,” a private service for those interested in designing and creating their own wedding bands. (See the gallery website for more information.)
