WE BE BEZELIN'
JANUARY 13,14,15 Advanced bezel fabrication. All levels of experience welcome, but general fabrication and soldering knowledge will be helpful. We will learn hand fabrication of bezels in high karat gold, silver, and a combination of the two. Working with fancy shaped faceted stones, geometric rose cuts, and rough surfaces of crystals and raw gems that follow undulating heights. We will look at different ways to connect settings together by using tube set diamonds, sapphires, or rubies with the stones already in place. Pushing bezels out of the way to connect them directly to each other. Along with how to design taking those factors into consideration. We will also look at color composition when picking stones for designs, using contrasting and complimenting pallets. Class will begin at 9:30 each day and end at 4:30 at the Armory Art Center
Fee: Members $500. Non-members $625. |

NEXT LEVEL STONE SETTING
MARCH 10-12, 2023 In this workshop we'll explore three creative ways to set your stones. We'll start by fabricating an ancient style prong setting for cabochon stones and each student will leave the workshop with a finished ring in this style. Savannah will demonstrate a Frame Setting which is ideal for coins, enamels and intaglios as well as the Lens Setting which is ideal for double sided stones. Students will be encouraged to work at their own pace with guidance and support at each step. No previous experience required. Stones and materials will be available for purchase but feel free to bring anything you'd like to work with.
Fee: Members $425. Non-members $530.
