Develop interesting, fun compositions that explore a variety of settings to showcase alternative materials, found objects, cabochons, and faceted gemstones in rings or pendants. Learn how to use basic jewelry making techniques to design and fabricate rivets, as well as an assortment of bezel, reverse tab, prong, and tube settings.

Daily demonstrations, handouts, and plenty of hands-on practice introduce you to a variety of setting techniques, as well as fabrication fundamentals, including soldering, sawing, filing, surface textures, and finishing methods using polishing compounds or patinas. Expect to leave this workshop with at least one completed piece. Bring in a special object from home or alternative material you're looking to transform into jewelry.
