The Details
This is an IN-PERSON workshop at the MAGG Studio. Please plan to arrive no more than 15 minutes early to the class.
Prerequisites: Students should have taken at least 2 beginner classes
This class will teach stone setting from the initial planning and fabrication of your prong mounting to the final setting of your stone. Students will become more refined in their approach to working at the bench as they use basic building and soldering techniques to create settings, made specifically for their stones.
There will be a demonstration on building a prong for a cabochon that is flat on the back. For the more motivated student, there will also be a demonstration to build a basket for a faceted stone, that has depth. Students will be encouraged to complete the cabochon setting and are welcome to tackle both. There will also be a demonstration on the technique of flush setting.
This class will be challenging but does not require an extensive background in previous setting experience. Students should come eager to listen, learn and ready to work. The teacher will take care of the rest!
This is a one-day class that will alternate between demonstration and working time for students to practice what was discussed to reinforce the techniques introduced.
Bring any prong setting projects that you are working on and have questions about. Time allowing, questions from these outside projects could facilitate some great discussions on the topic being taught.
The instructor’s goal for this class is for each student to be challenged within their ability and that they each go home with confidence on the topics being presented.
Students taking this class should be comfortable with basic jewelry techniques such as using a hammer, pliers, saw frame, files, etc.. They should also have some experience with using a flex shaft to learn flush setting which requires drilling holes and cutting seats with setting burs. It is recommended but not required that students be comfortable with lighting a torch and soldering.
If you do not have any experience or have questions, please contact the instructor to discuss the class before registering.
