This Course is for You If You…


  • Know how to solder jewelry with a torch*
  • Have basic jewelry fabrication skills (sawing, filing, soldering, etc.)
  • Are ready to blow the lid off your creativity.

Wondering about your torch type? Air/acetylene, butane (Blazer or similar), Smith Little, Sievert, oxy/natural gas, oxy/propane, etc. will all work for these course projects. If you have a torch that uses oxygen or an oxygen concentrator, you’ll have better success with the wire granulation lesson by using either a rosebud tip or a larger Paige Tip (MA Rosebud or #5 or larger) to get a more diffused flame.

Don’t have a rolling mill? No problem. You’ll still learn to fuse wire granulation patterns to make gorgeous rings!

What makes Victoria’s Courses So Special

Achieve levels of skill that you didn’t know you had

Victoria’s workshops are presented in a clear and engaging manner that is both highly informative and entertaining. As students, our skill-set was dramatically improved during the course of a workshop. We were able to put the techniques we learned to immediate use, and made the cost of the workshop back on the first piece we sold.

In Japan, Victoria would be considered a national treasure…

Victoria teaches techniques used for millennia to create many of the great works of art one can see in museums. She has found many tricks that streamline and improve the processes, and she uses them to make strikingly contemporary pieces rooted in the ancient world. Students are given a series of challenges and opportunities to grow their own inner voices and are encouraged to create works unique to them, at their levels of ability. The number of places one can learn these skills in the US can be counted conveniently on one’s thumbs. In Japan, Victoria would be considered a national treasure, and she would be funded to pass these skills on to the next generation.

The desire to encircle the fingers with symbols of love, loyalty, and power is an ancient tradition dating back thousands of years.


Whether they are mementos of commitment to another or to oneself, rings are the most personal and coveted of adornments.

What will you commemorate with yours?
