This course is designed for those who would like to learn a more creative approach to the traditional art of stone setting.   We’ll be building a ‘claw’ prong setting and using it to encapsulate a beautiful raw gemstone set into a pendant.  We’ll have a number of stones to choose from or you’re welcome to bring your own.  This is a soldering intensive workshop as we’ll be building a basket setting from wire.  Tools and materials are included, gemstone is additional cost.
