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.
As always with advance stone setting, we strongly recommend you set aside some time after your course to practice the skills you learn to develop your technique.
We will be in touch the week of your course with full details and directions and any other helpful information we think will be of use for the day.
EXPERIENCE REQUIRED:
Students should have some stone setting experience and be confident using normal jewellery tools and equipment. If you are unsure, please email us at hello@workshop925.com to discuss any queries, we are always here to help.
