at the Tucson Gem show.

In this one day class you’ll be making not just one, but up to four* stackable silver rings !!
Making rings with metal clay can be challenging, especially for beginners, but Clément
designed this new class so beginners as well as experienced artists can learn easy methods
to create unique metal clay rings with ease, especially as students will be granted four Ring
Maker to use during the class, an innovative tool that Clément invented to make metal clay
ring making a breeze.

You’ll learn how to use this amazing tool, and will create two round rings, a square one, as

Clément will teach you some of his favorite techniques to add unique textures to those rings,
using only a few very common tools, so you will be able to continue making rings back
home, without having to break the bank.

Clément will also teach you how to use more high end tools to obtain a perfect professional

them with more texture and details.

(including techniques & materials): Help take beads where they have never gone
before. How to create beautiful bead mosaic art easily while having fun and letting your
creative juices flow. In this beginner course you will learn techniques to get you started
creating bead mosaics that look like stained glass art. Sabrina’s innovative techniques
are easier and much faster than you think and will give you a freedom with beads you
never thought possible. During this workshop you will complete a personalized 8x10
seed bead project and learn new and creative ways to get beads working together no
matter the shape or size. We are making jewelry for your walls instead of your body!

In this class, you will learn how to create a bezel set gemstone pendant in silver using just a butane
torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a sophisticated
piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire
pendant, including the bezel, the background texture, and the bail. You may supply your own gemstone,
but it must be a flat back cabochon stone, and it should not be too big or too fragile. I do reserve the
right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing. All tools are provided, but will be
affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. Using a custom fabricated bezel, you will
also add a cabochon gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to
suspend your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all
my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.

In this class, you will learn how to use a fun and interesting technique to cast organic silver cup shapes in
silver using just a butane torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a sophisticated
piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have made a collection of silver shapes, you will pick several and, under the careful guidance
of an experienced instructor, you will use them to create the illustrated pendant, or a close variation of
that design.
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing. All tools are provided, but will be
affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. Using a pre-made bezel cup, you will also
add a rose-cut gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to suspend
your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all
my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.
