In this workshop, we will cover a couple of different stone setting methods as we construct sterling silver pendants. Through demonstration and hands-on experience, you will also learn about fabrication techniques, soldering, cleanup, and polishing. We will be working with cabochons, domed stones with a flat back, to highlight and inspire our necklace designs.
Students must have basic sawing, filing, and soldering skills. Please note: If you do not meet the pre-requisite, please let us know so we can make arrangements prior to the workshop (private lessons).
