Mokume Gane Wedding Rings, Metal Arts and Instruction
I am proud to offer quality craftsmanship with obsessive attention to detail in all of my work. My meticulously hand-crafted custom wedding rings, vessels, boxes, bracelets and other jewelry are created using the traditional metalsmithing tools of file, handsaw, torch, and hammer. I fuse my own mokume gane billets right here in my studio and create everything from scratch using ethically sourced metals.
Upcoming Classes
Twisting Mokume
Live Online Workshop with Anne Wolf
June 26-27, 2021 - Saturday - Sunday 10:00am - 4:00 pm PDT
Tuition $295 + $75-$195 kit fee (+tax & shipping)
Learn to do the twist! Twist patterning is the basis for most of the precious-metal mokume rings made in the US – mine included. In this class you’ll learn exactly how I create such detailed organic patterns in my rings, all while you create an intricately patterned copper/brass cuff bracelet. (You’ll also learn why we are making bracelets rather than rings.) On the second day I’ll show two more variations on the twist – the star pattern and a more advanced pattern I call ‘mizu’ or the water pattern. According to your interest and experience level you can focus on finishing the bracelet or try one or both of these other techniques. The basic kit comes with enough copper/brass mokume rod for two or possibly all three of the techniques. For the more advanced or ambitious students you can purchase the deluxe kit, with enough additional mokume to make a silver/copper/brass bracelet. For the best experience, this class is limited to 15 students. Prior experience with annealing and forging is recommended. Read more and register.
