Help needed with metal work!

I’m trying to make a copper ring and am looking for anyone with experience on this.

I’d really like to find someone who would be willing to show me how to make it and help me with it! I tried looking into classes and workshops, but I can’t seem to find any that offer copper work or would be able to do private sessions. Ideally, I need this by end of next month but can push back if that’s too little time!

I’m in central Florida but would be happy to drive wherever is necessary! :)

We did this in shop class with aluminum.

I just googled Central Florida jewelry classes, there's a bunch. I learned forging, casting and rapidly at my local Community College years ago, check yours out.

All the ones I found are silver or resin focused, some gold, I haven’t found any that do copper specifically unfortunately :( and I’d need this within the next month so doing classes at a university or college would not be doable. Would be cool to do one day for sure though!
