The final project involves creating a silver ring using a cabochon that the student has previously cut. The techniques learned in this project can be used later to make all sorts of jewellery: pendants, earrings, bracelets etc. This Basic Silversmithing Course is a very popular one, and there is often a waiting list when members first sign up. A nominal fee for this course covers the cost of the sterling silver, copper, silver solder, and saw blades that are supplied in the class starter pack. 

Any other tools needed are available in the silversmithing room (e.g., torches, files, pliers, tweezers, mandrels, polishing equipment etc.) free of charge for members. After completing the Basic Silversmithing Course, members are welcome to work on their own projects in the silversmithing room on the days that an instructor is scheduled. The instructors are there for support and guidance.

For the convenience of students, there is also an assortment of sterling silver for sale in the silversmithing room for when students are ready to begin their own projects. Cost for this course is $85 for workshop materials (silver, copper, solder, sanding supplies, etc).
