Bezel Setting Workshop

$235.00

JUNE 13-14 Saturday and Sunday, 9am - 3pm

Everyone wants to set stones! Over the course of two six-hour days (with lunch breaks!), we will become familiar with bezel setting techniques. This class involves a thorough explanation of bezel setting, including information about unusual or difficult setting situations. We will finish two projects, the first is more structured for a solid skills foundation. The second project is more personal - you get to make (nearly) anything you want!

The “kit” cost will be an estimate and may change depending on choices you make during the workshop. The pictures are a close representation to what we will make, but the final product is subject to change.

CURRICULUM:

  • Intro to Bezel Setting: Fundamentals, Options, Trouble-Shooting

  • PROJECT 1: Bezel Bling Ring

  • PROJECT 2: Bezel-Set Pendant

  • Open Studio time, if time permits

Level: Intermediate Torchwork, Intro to Soldering Workshop required first
Tools: Included
Materials: Not included,
Kit details TBA, available for purchase at class, read more below

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT MATERIALS:

If a class has a materials kit associated with it, it is usually paid for and provided at the time of the class. Unless I hear otherwise, I assume you will be getting your materials from me. SILVER PRICES ARE VOLATILE. I can’t predict the cost of kits as far in advance as I used to, but I will email students the expected cost as soon as I have it calculated.
Getting the kit from me is not required, and if you’d prefer to bring your own supplies, you MUST notify me within a week of the class (or sooner) so I can get you the materials list and answer any questions you might have. It also helps me prepare the correct number of kits ahead of the class.
