This two-day workshop is designed to give students a solid foundation in various claw setting techniques and simple yet effective methods for supporting gemstones of different shapes and sizes. The focus is on mastering the techniques rather than creating perfectly finished jewellery pieces.

Students are welcome to bring their own tools, metals, and stones, as well as any half-completed ring shanks or other projects theyd like to set.

The class begins with creating claw settings for flat-bottomed stones on a plate, allowing students to understand how claws function. From there, students will progress to faceted stones, learning how to construct different types of settings and secure their stones properly.

The workshop will also cover essential tips for finishing settings to a sellable standard, along with guidance on how to make the most of pre-made claw settings.

Ticket price includes $55 of materials.

This is a 2 day course - 10th & 11th April, 10:00 - 16:00
