Learn to tube-set a faceted round gemstone and make a lovely ring to wear home. The class will cover the use of burrs and a variety of setting techniques. You will use sterling silver to create your ring. So that you will feel confident using this technique in your own designs, we will discuss what to consider when ordering materials in the future. A $45 materials fee will be payable at registration and covers all materials needed for the workshop. Enthusiastic beginners are welcome. Students with jewelry fabrication experience will get the most from this workshop.
