About this Event

Instructor: Christina Bengtson

Price: $125 + $35 Kit fee (see bold below)

(The PREREQUISITES for this class are Silversmithing Level 4 - Intermediate Bezel Setting and Metal Fundamentals-The Jewelers Saw )

One way to work with the increasing price of silver is to economize the amount we use in our settings. This 2-part Level 5 advanced class is designed to do that. In class you’ll learn to create open back bezel settings for cabochons with wire instead of sheet silver, allowing us to use larger stones without the cost of larger silver backplates. Class will cover basic construction and several embellishments. A variety of cabochons in different sizes will be provided in class but feel free to bring your own.

There is a supply kit fee made payable to the teacher day of class by cash or check. Please come prepared to pay this fee.
