Learn to make bezels settings for those more difficult cabochon stone shapes. After a warm up, we will make a pendant of your own design using a selection of dramatically shaped stones. This is a level 3/4 class for students that can solder on their own.

Stones will be provided or students may use their own. The studio has these tools but students may bring their own: sanding sticks, pliers, pushers, burnishers, sheers, rulers, and dividers. 

Each student may buy in class or bring their own of the following:

 - 3" to 4" of 1/4” and 3/16” fine silver bezel wire (28g)
 - 3" x 3" (depending on design) of 24g Sterling silver sheet
 - 2' or so of 20g Sterling round wire
 - 4" or so of 12g Sterling round wire 

Instructor: Jody Lyle is a goldsmith with over 23 years of experience designing and making jewelry. It all started in a high school jewelry class which lead to a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from the University of North Texas , to be followed by many jewelry classes and workshops all over the west. Outside of the classroom, the world’s influences continued to inspire her with travels to places to view art in Egypt, Greece, Mexico, and the British Isles. Jody’s jewelry collections have been shown throughout New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colorado, the San Francisco bay area, and now on Bainbridge Island. Jody continues to hone her skills, acquiring new techniques and is continually expanding the definition of her jewelry. As a child Jody learned that for a day to be satisfying, one had to make something. This is simple but it still holds true.
