Potter USA Classroom

In this one-of-a-kind, full-day workshop, couples will have the opportunity to craft their very own wedding bands, start to finish, with the private instruction of one of our expert jewelers. Whether you want rings to celebrate a marriage, an anniversary, or another type of commitment, couples will have the unique opportunity to browse our extensive antique jewelry die collection and choose designs that fit their own personal style. Together, we’ll melt down your metal of choice, pour an ingot, die-strike your ring designs using an antique screw press from the mid 1800's, saw, form, solder, and finish your wedding rings in a private, fun, and focused session in our studio. This is an incredible experience to enjoy together, making something personal and lasting that you will cherish for a lifetime. Before your workshop, we’ll have a consultation meeting to discuss your material preferences (gold alloys, silver, etc.), let you browse our die collection, and choose your designs (we have the largest collection of antique jewelry dies in the world). Couples will be be responsible for the materials cost of their rings once size, design and alloy are chosen. Pricing depends on current market metal prices at the time of the workshop. We can discuss the options with you at your initial consultation. Our expert craftspeople will walk you through each and every step of the fabrication process, providing expert instruction, making sure you are successful with the technical processes involved in crafting your rings, all while having a fun, memorable, and romantic experience with your partner. Once you have purchased your workshop, give us a call to schedule your initial consultation. We can't wait to be part of your wedding experience! The classroom is located at 1949 E. Eastland, Tucson, Arizona, 85719.
