About

Learn and practice how to cut a seat and secure a stone. You'll be using many basic jeweler tools (saw, files, pliers, dividers, calipers, punches, setting burrs, polishing wheels, vices, chasing hammer, and the flex shaft). You should have a working knowledge of the jewelers' saw, files, and flex shaft to sign up for this class.

Even if you don't use many traditional prong settings in your current designs, it's an excellent stepping stone. Learning how to use them can lead you to new understanding and possibilities.

Details

  • Bring a lunch. BARN has a refrigerator and microwave on the lower level.
