What’s New In Our Learning Center

Clément recently visited Cool Tools from Belgium to share his tool, The Ring Maker™. If you find yourself frustrated by joining a ring, or finding the seam still visible or incomplete after firing, this tool is for you! Seamless rings are much stronger than joint rings, allowing you to hammer, stretch and texture without fear of fragility. Create seamless rings in a breeze with The Ring Maker!
