What does the day involve?
In this one-day introduction to grain setting techniques, you will learn how to set small stones in a selection of styles.
We will begin with a simple single stone grain setting before moving on to a traditional star setting and finally a row of five stones in a thread and gain style setting.
During the day, we will also look at considerations for grain setting as well as the preparation of tools and possible applications.
