WHEN:
Sunday, August 23rd, (10:00am-2:00pm) and Monday, August 24th (5:00pm-8:00pm)
DESCRIPTION:
Let’s spend a few of the dog days of summer in the silver studio making rings! This class is a 2-day workshop, curated for those who want to learn basic stone setting skills. We will each design and construct a simple bezel-set piece of sterling silver jewelry (you can choose a stone or bring your own).
AM I READY?
This workshop is meant for everyone who wants to learn how to silversmith, set stones, customize their own jewelry designs, or refine their stone setting skills. We will build a strong foundation for learning the tools, equipment, and studio safety, as well as the basics of fabrication and stone setting. Skills include: sawing, filing, sanding, texturing, soldering, stone setting, polishing and more!
No previous silversmithing experience is required, but it helps! The more you know, the more you can create.
LOCATION:
535 W. Deer Drive, Unit #513, downstairs! Parking is along the Wonder Workshops garage doors, and in spots labeled with 513 & 514.
WHAT’S INCLUDED:
Materials for one basic stone setting project per student: milled sterling silver wire and sheet, cabochon stone & consumables (sandpaper, polishing compound, saw blades, etc.) Students are welcome to bring their own stones, or purchase higher quality stones at the studio. Personal protective equipment (PPE) provided.
