APRIL.  Spinner Rings.

APRIL. Spinner Rings.

A new class was introduced during the month of April: how to make spinner rings. There was quite a bit of interest! Ten people signed up for the class which was originally offered for up to four people. A couple of different techniques for forming the ring were presented, followed by texturing and soldering. The second session focused of cleaning up the main ring band using the club’s Foredom with a variety of accessories.
