Intermediate-Advanced* $80-$130 Materials and Studio Fees** Participants begin the workshop alloying and pouring their own sterling silver ingots using fine silver and copper grain. Utilizing this material, you will learn the necessary skills to fancifully set faceted stones using traditional techniques and methods. Throughout the week, you will integrate these skills into your own creative formats and projects. Additionally, fundamentals in fabrication, milling, measuring, stone layout, and tool making will be thoroughly explored. Demonstrated examples of settings will include but are not limited to basket settings, split prong settings, flush settings, and bead settings. *Participants should have a fundamental understanding of metalsmithing and jewelry design techniques. Additionally, they should be comfortable performing the general routine and safety procedures within the studio. Necessary techniques required for this course include the following: sawing and piercing, filing and sanding, using the flex shaft motor and hand piece, silver soldering and annealing, and hammering. **Materials and studio fees are charged to students based on studio usage and materials Touchstone is providing at the request of the instructor. Additionally, some instructors may also require that you bring certain materials and tools with you, in which case a list will be provided. Final cost of these fees will be posted at least two weeks ahead of the workshop to be paid in full prior to check-in.
