Intermediate/Advanced Metalsmithing and Jewelry (THURSDAYS)

If you’re a cabochon lover, this is the class for you! This quarter will be focused on designing around  larger cabochons, and integrating them into well thought-out statement pieces. Discussions and demos will include, but aren’t limited to: layout and design, soldering larger bezels, sawing, findings and mechanisms, finishing techniques, and stone setting. Hone your skills, practice new ones and continue to exercise your artistic voice. Students will be invited to challenge themselves with the recommended project, or may work independently with guidance.

PREREQUISITE:  Good soldering skills; experience with making bezel settings highly recommended

SUPPLIES: Supplies will be discussed at the first class meeting.
