Some stone setting experience would be an advantage and students should be confident using normal jewellery tools and equipment.
In this intermediate setting class we are going to be looking into traditional techniques for channel setting stones into pre cast silver rings.
This attractive and popular setting style allows for you to learn more advanced setting skills that will take your skills to a new level.
We will discuss how to lay out stones to fine tolerances, prepare the ring for setting before drilling, and opening the channel and setting the stones in place.
By the end of the day you will have a finished ring and the knowledge needed to apply these advanced techniques to your own designs.
