Jurgen Maerz, known to many around the world as "Mr. Platinum" will conduct a workshop on creating a ring using gold onto silver. Jurgen is a skilled Goldsmith of many years, originally trained in Germany.
Maerz will conduct a hands on intensive workshop in creating a silver ring and adding some gold to give it a very rich looking appearance, with a very interesting visual contrast between metals.
Each student will receive a packet of silver and gold, the cost of which will be determined by the metals market. Once we know how much metal is needed, it will be priced at market.
