Workshop List
Colors Of The Stone Winter
Skill Level: All
This class is appropriate for total beginners but also has much to offer a more advanced jewelry student.
In this class, you will learn how to create a tube set gemstone pendant in silver using just a butane
torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire pendant. Using a purchased tube setting, you will also add a faceted gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to polish your completed jewelry using affordable and approachable tools and techniques.
You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a calibrated 5 mm faceted round stone, and it
should not be 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, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class and a list of tools for purchase if you choose. 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 work, plus a battery-
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!

Soldering
Filing
Texturing
Calibrated faceted gemstone setting
