The class was great overall; really informative and interactive. I particularly liked how detailed the explanations were of each step, and the crossword was a nice touch to add historical and cultural context. Overall, I learned a lot and I left with a ring that I cherish and wear almost daily. I recommend this class to everyone I come across! -

Couples Ring Making Workshop
The Couples Ring Making Workshop was a great experience. We have a lot of fun making our matching rings, very romantic. We learn a lot about how rings are made, and also a little history of Alexandria and the shop. The class is at a beginner level, so you don't have to have experience in making jewelry before. Some wine was served during class. You can also buy some of their unique jewelry, and take other classes if you are interested in making jewelry (not just rings). There are also many unique shops for you to look around in the area. A coffee place nearby was great and very cozy. -

We had a really small class just 4 of us. Dan gives great instruction - he demos each part of the process and then will provide additional assistance through each step of making your pieces. The studio is well equipped and they take COVID seriously with dividers between workstations and requiring masks and gloves (both provided) to all who enter. I’m already signed up for Metals 2! -
