Introduction to Metalsmithing at the Pump House: Choose a Ring or Pendant
The Pump House class frames its sterling-silver project as a choice: make a ring or a pendant. Billie Stevens of GlassStone Studio is named as instructor, but the November 14, 2026 session is marked sold out.
A clear project choice, with process details to confirm
The class title identifies the material and two possible forms, but does not describe the steps, techniques or tools involved. If a particular skill or technique is what you hope to learn, ask the Pump House what the session will cover before signing up.
The announcement names Stevens and GlassStone Studio, but does not say whether silver or other materials are included in the $150 tuition. Confirm what participants need to provide and whether any material costs are separate.
