Hammered Hoops Jewelry Making Workshop with MJ Hodges

Let your creativity flow with shapes and textures in the Hammered Hoops Workshop!

Craft your own hoop earrings by forming sterling silver or gold filled metal wire into shapes like a circle or teardrop—and add stunning hammered textures that make each piece stand out. In this session, you’ll learn hands-on wire shaping and texturing techniques, hoop design basics, and how to finish and polish your piece to create your very own wearable art.

My name is MJ. I have been a silversmith since 2015, when I learned the artform at Pikes Peak Community College, where I was also a teacher’s assistant for 2 years. I have been a jeweler in two upscale boutiques, and had success selling my jewelry in stores, at markets, and online. Metalsmithing is my passion, and I love to share the techniques of the craft with others!
