About this Event
Wednesday, January 15th from 9:00AM-4:00PM
This workshop will walk students through the technique of bezel setting stone. Students will be introduced to the tools and techniques required to make custom, handmade jewelry. No prior experience needed.
During the first half of the workshop we will cover soldering and setting stones by making a pair of earrings using bezel cups. After the lunch break, we will learn how to measure the stone and construct our own bezel using bezel wire. At the completion of the workshop, you will have mastered the technique of bezel setting and take home a unique, hand crafted pair of earrings and a pendant. An overview can be emailed upon request.
$99 workshop fee does not include materials. The materials supply kit to make the earrings and pendant only (no chain) is $30 and can be purchased directly from the instructor with Venmo or cash. Extra material will be available for purchase. Students are also welcome to bring their own tools or materials.
(For safety, be sure to wear closed toe shoes and have long hair pulled back with clips or in a ponytail.)
We will have an hour break for lunch between Noon-1pm. The studio will be closed during this break, but there are nearby parks where you can eat lunch if you brought your own, or you can check out one of the local restaurants in the area.
