h metal, but she taught us everything we needed to know, and answered all our questions along the way. We loved that we got to make practice rings first to get us comfortable working with metal. The rings came out perfectly and we couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience. Highly recommend to any and all couples!!

erfect, and Kylie was always happy to step in and help whenever we needed it. Highly recommend!

e unique to us and look professional. Kylie was a great teacher, and super patient with us. She taught us so much and even helped us with a special design idea for one of the rings. She also taught us a lot about the different kinds of metals in the lead-up to the workshop, so that we could pick the kind that would be best for us. We would definitely recommend this experience to anyone who wanted to craft their own wedding rings!

ft our dream rings. Even though I came into the class with some metalworks experience, she helped guide me through all the specifics of measuring, constructing, and polishing my ring. We couldn't be happier with our results and we strongly recommend people or couples to take classes here!

bands and have a beautiful story to share and keep with us in these priceless heirlooms. Kylie was very helpful, communicative and thoughtful throughout the process. She helped us work with the hammer texture and chevron shape we wanted, and was so kind and patient.

day private session with a break for lunch. The timing and personalized attention was great-- it was very comprehensive and we didn't ever feel rushed. Kylie was a fantastic teacher. She was easily able to fix any issue we ran into and also taught us a ton about the history and chemistry of metal working. You can tell she's been doing this for a long time and is extremely knowledgeable, plus we had a great time just chatting and getting to know each other. Our rings turned out incredible too- - I still can't believe we actually made them ourselves! You get four rings total (a practice and final ring for each person), which is great because you can use the practice ones as backups. We have so many positive things to say about this experience-- we would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat!

ul demos and suggestions as we worked. I would highly recommend her, and highly recommend taking this workshop if you want one-of-a-kind rings and a unique experience together.

at could have been just another task to tick off the wedding planning checklist turned into a truly special experience. Crafting our rings together as a couple allowed us to learn, make mistakes, and have fun, while also relieving some of the stress that comes with wedding planning! Before the class, I honestly wasn't sure how the finished rings would come out, and I wondered how something I made could possibly resemble a ring you’d find in a store. The results were WAY beyond my expectations! Kylie’s expert guidance helped us create beautiful, polished gold bands that we were both incredibly proud of. We didn’t want to take them off all night! For anyone concerned about the rings looking too "handmade" or imperfect, rest assured—the final product will exceed your expectations. The cost of this experience is more than worthwhile. For roughly the same price as purchasing rings from a store, you get all the materials, a full day of expert instruction, and the priceless experience of making memories together. I can’t recommend this experience highly enough—it's a truly unique and memorable way to mark such an important occasion, and we will remember this experience for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kylie!

made sure we had great rings and made great memories.

this class!

unique amazing rings! Kylie helped us navigate the choice of material and clearly outlined all our options for ring types and finishing styles. During the workshop, she was super kind and knowledgeable; I feel I learned so much in just 6 hours! She was also there to rescue us in the ring-making process if anything happened or if we simply needed support or technical guidance.

o the chemistry and tools involved in making the rings. We asked a lot of questions, and she was very generous with her time and expertise. For the workshop itself, we first made rings in sterling silver, which was really fun and stress-free practice. For the gold rings, the stiffer metal meant we needed more help to bend and shape the rings at different points. Kylie was great about stepping in only when we asked for help, and we were very eager to have her assistance. Her power tools can also clean up or speed up certain steps, so there is a bit of a safety net for any mistakes! Without her expertise, we never would have gotten the wonderful rings we ended up. My fiance has told many people how grateful he was that Kylie was there to be sure we couldn't mess anything up. Overall, an excellent experience! My fiance and I enjoyed learning together, doing something creative with our hands, creating long-lasting symbols of our marriage, and learning from an artistic professional. It's such a unique and well-managed experience, it's well worth coming from out of town for! It’s even great without all the photos they take of you and the champagne you walk away with, but those are delightful bonuses. FYI: you will have to make your ring out of silver and various golds for making your rings, and you cannot set stones or do much detailing besides sanding edges or embossing messages inside. That said, this encompassed *most* of the rings we liked in shops, and Kylie helped us do a lot of creative personalizations: my ring had a hammer finish for extra sparkle, while we did a matte finish for my fiance. She also helped us cut a notch out of my wedding band so it nests well under the diamond of my engagement ring. If you have an ideas, it's worth asking what's feasible!

e to melt down some gold from our families to incorporate into our rings. The rings are not just beautiful—they truly feel like a part of our story. Thank you for bringing our vision to life!

utely amazing—so patient, skilled, and passionate about her craft. She guided us every step of the way, making the experience both fun and meaningful. The final rings exceeded all of our expectations, and we couldn’t be happier. It was such an incredible way to create something truly personal. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and memorable wedding experience!

r rings as well as their costs, which was super helpful in making our decision. The actual class was a blast - Kylie gave us detailed instructions and guidance on making our first silver test rings that helped us breeze through making our actual rings (also with expert guidance!). The whole process start to finish was interesting, engaging, and most importantly a ton of fun! We can't recommend the experience enough.

and make our wedding ceremony even more special. Kylie makes the process approachable, providing guidance and assistance as needed (while also imparting humor along the way). We are so glad we found the Stonybrook Metal Arts and Sculpture School when we began our search to potentially make our own wedding rings. Kylie is skilled in her craft, and we are so glad to have met her, and learned from her. Would strongly recommend this class to any interested couple!

she loves her job. In the class you make 2 rings. One silver one to practice on / understand the process before jumping into working on your real wedding bands. The bands came out incredible and we even had the option to engrave the inside. I couldn't recommend this class enough.

laining the different steps in the process, made us feel safe, confident, and she taught us so much along the way. I am so happy with how the final result came out!

r to pick our gold, to the actual day-of, she always knew exactly what needed to be done and when. This also includes helping us fix any (inevitable) mistakes we made along the way! Neither I nor my fiance had done any sort of jewelry making before, and we walked away from this workshop with wedding bands we will cherish forever. Anyone can go buy their wedding rings, but it is such a cool additional layer to know that we spent the time, effort, and love to MAKE rings for each other. If you are even remotely considering this class, DO IT. I cannot recommend this class, or Kylie, enough!

we made them ourselves.

dance! From the very beginning, Kylie's expertise shone through. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the entire process, from selecting the perfect metals to the intricacies of hammering and shaping the bands. What truly impressed us was her teaching style. Kylie patiently explained each step visually, making sure we understood the techniques before diving in. She never took over the process, but was always there to offer a helping hand or share her wisdom when we needed it. This hands-off approach, with guidance available at every turn, made the experience incredibly empowering and rewarding. The atmosphere at Stonybrook Metal Arts and Sculpture School was absolutely fantastic. It was a fun and creative space that perfectly complemented the experience of crafting our own wedding rings. We had a blast learning this new skill together, and Kylie's positive and encouraging presence made the whole process even more enjoyable. Walking away with not just one, but two beautiful sets of rings (a trial set and our final wedding bands) was a truly special feeling. But more importantly, we have the unforgettable memories of creating them together, thanks to Kylie's amazing instruction and the wonderful atmosphere at Stonybrook Metal Arts and Sculpture School. If you're looking for a unique and meaningful way to create your wedding rings, look no further than this fantastic school and request Kylie – you won't be disappointed!
