Description

Learn how to Flush set a pendant

Class Date: Sunday October 26th

Time: 9:30 to 4:30pm

Instructors:  Bobby Gunn / Sonia Baker

Class Outline:

Learn how to flush set small, faceted stones in this informative one-day course.  Flush setting is a valuable stone setting technique that will elevate your jewellery pieces.  This one-day workshop is perfect for intermediate students who want to add to their skillset and learn an additional technique for adding sparkle to their jewellery.

You’ll begin by practicing in copper, then move on to silver once you feel confident. To apply what you’ve learned, you’ll create a simple silver pendant featuring a flush-set stone. The focus of this class is on mastering the technique through repetition and understanding the process, rather than spending time on complex jewellery designs—ensuring you leave with stronger stone-setting skills.

During this one day workshop you will learn the technique of flush setting round faceted stones into a simple silver pendant.

By the end of the class, you will be able to:

• Accurately measure stones.
• Identify burrs and their uses.
• Choose appropriate burrs for your stone sizes.
• Be able to create a seat for your stones.
• Learn how to make your own needle burnisher
• Use a needle burnisher to set your stones.

Participants should have some prior metalsmithing experience (soldering etc) as knowing the basic techniques and tools of jewellery making will allow you to move faster through the setting process.

Students should bring a loupe / optivisors to this workshop as magnification will be necessary. A limited number of Optivisors/Loupes will be available for those who don’t have any.
