Stone Setting in Metal Clay
Instructor: Ms. Jeanette (Nettie) Landenwitch
Level: Intermediate to Advanced Requirements: Experience Working with PMC Program: Summer Status: Closed Length: 5 Days Tuition: $ 645 Materials: TBA Date: July 08, 2009 - July 12, 2009 Time: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM Location: Metalwerx
Set stones in Metal Clay! Students will make pieces using bezel setting, metal clay prongs, and channel setting techniques.
The bezel techniques will include utilizing PMC sheet, making metal clay bezel cups and using ready made bezel cups for comparison, and practice the 'twice-fire'method. There will be step-by-step demos of each of these methods, and finished pieces to view as examples. These will be practice pieces to use as a reference for further work.
This workshop is for those with intermediate to advanced metal clay skills--NOT for beginners.
Jeanette is currently the executive director of the International PMC Guild. She teaches classes and workshops across the country and internationally, is a Senior Instructor for Rio Grande, and has just published her second book "Setting Stones in Metal Clay".
