set a non-firable stone in fine silver bezel wire without soldering!
Add embellishments like faux bead or twist wire, granulation, choice of bail, two-sided
texture and more!

Learn ways to polish and add patina to five your piece that professional look.? Chockful
of useful tips and tricks along the way, this workshop will take your metal clay designs to
a whole new level.
