Introduction:
This workshop is ideal for those with some background in metalwork or jewellery design who want to dive into stone setting.
Learn the essentials of cabochon stone setting and gain insights into working with silver, including the tools and equipment needed for this craft. In class, you’ll design and create your own jewellery, starting with a bezel-set cabochon ring, then choose to make either a second ring or a pendant. Expect to complete one or two finished pieces by the end of the course, along with foundational skills in cabochon stone setting.
Prerequisites: Students are required to have completed our Silver Jewellery course or have experience in soldering and working with silver. This course also requires good hand strength, steady hands, and keen eyesight.
What To Bring:
- Pencil, paper and scissors
- $90 to tutor on the morning of class for materials
