SETTING ESSENTIALS
In this course we will run through several of the essential settings styles you’ll encounter. We will focus on bezel setting, claw/prong setting of solitaires, and channel setting. You’ll learn the basics from preparing the seats right through to a cleaned up ready to polish state. You will learn invaluable tips and tricks, as well as tool making and preparation for special scenarios. As time allows and according to student requests we will work with stones and mounts of various shapes/cuts. You will learn the basics of each of these styles that can be built on in your future work. You will also have the opportunity to watch as Ian sets various other projects and explains his process throughout. Courses are limited to 3 students maximum to ensure students get proper attention, and run from 9:00 - 4:30 in our private studio in central Oxford. Students may continue to practice after 4:30 until the teacher goes home (between 5 and 6)
