Class Description
This is our intensive two day class where you will learn a range of stone settings which will really take your work in silver jewellery to the next level. The main stone settings covered in this class include:
- A simple rub over setting, which involves creating a bezel and encasing a cabochon-shaped stone. This is a key technique for setting stones and is very useful to add to your repertoire of skills as it allows you to set a range of natural stones in a range of sizes.
- A tube setting, a simple yet effective technique for neatly setting usually small stones into silver tube. A great contrast to the rub over setting and adds a new dimension to your jewellery.
- Flush Setting, a neat way of setting your stones into the metal, which still allows a flat finish to the piece so that your stone is well protected and again this adds a new design element to your pieces.
Other stone settings that are sometimes covered if there is time or if students are more advanced include irregular rub over settings and claw settings.
During the course the tutor will also be taking about the qualities of different popular stones and considerations when setting them.
This class is very intensive so come prepared but it will really move your work on leaps and bounds and promises not to disappoint. All the materials including stones and silver will be provided.
A popular class so do book early to avoid disappointment!
Also included in the cost of the class is plenty of tea coffee and luxury biscuits! The classes are all run by expert tutors with years of professional experience who are friendly, knowledgeable and approachable.
We take an hour break for lunch and there are plenty of local shops to get food from, or you can always bring a packed lunch to eat in the studio. If you have any questions regarding this, or other courses please don't hesitate to get in touch.
