What is tube setting? Tube setting is the process of setting a faceted gemstone in to a sterling silver tube. It’s a great way to add neat little accents to your pieces, and I’m going to teach you how to make it happen.
We will learn about texturing, sawing, soldering, make a setting for the stone, and the finishing process. If the shape of The Lone Star State isn’t your jam, we have other sterling silver pendant options!
I provide all materials, tools and instruction for the project. All you need is shoes with closed-toes and an up-do (really, you must keep long hair tied back for safety reasons). I do have both magnification and safety eyewear as well as aprons for student use. You are welcome to bring a drink as long as it has a lid.
You will leave this class with a piece of handcrafted jewelry and a better understanding of the silversmithing process.
** All classes are in my personal studio at my home. Classes are geared to no more than 2 or 3 students so that I can give everyone plenty of one-on-one instruction.
** I offer classes Monday through Friday with morning and afternoon sessions available (typically 9-12 and 2-5 for beginner classes). I will also have availability on some Saturdays.
