About

Come make tab pendants with us. It will be a fun day in the Jewelry & Fine Metals Studio as we make settings out of brass sheets for cabochons using some basic jeweler's skills like:

  • Sawing
  • Filing and sanding
  • Drilling and sanding with the flex-shaft
  • Forming with pliers

Materials

  • A $20 materials fee, included in the cost of the class, will cover the metal and stone needed for class.
  • Some extra materials may be available for purchase (bring check or cash - the studio can't make change).
  • If you have some stones you want to consider using in addition to the class-provided stones, please bring them.
  • Bring a mask and an apron.
