SUMMARY:Skilled Stone Setting with Scott McIntyre - Channel Setting (BA18Z7YH)
DESCRIPTION:Skilled Stone Setting with Scott McIntyre – Channel Setting (BA18Z7YH) \nSo\, you’ve pretty much ticked most boxes and now you want to add more to the set. Of course you do! Welcome to Scott’s next level stone setting class! But don’t be put off by stepping up\, you’ve done it before and you’ll do it again! If you’ve mastered pavé\, there’s no reason why you can’t progress here. \nYes\, it’s a bit more fiddly\, but man it is so rewarding! Nothing beats that feeling of success after all that time and preparation. And the good thing is you’ll be taught these styles by Scott McIntyre a true Master Goldsmith and Setter\, who will lead you through everything step by step until you fully understand what’s involved and are confident enough to get going! \nCan I do this class?\nPlease note that you need to have a damn good understanding of jewellery making. Knowledge of pretty much all bench techniques is required here. You’ll definitely need good pendant motor control\, be used to drilling and burring\, and have some experience using scorpers. This course is for jewellers who have already completed Intermediate Stone Setting [flush and pavé] or equivalent. If you have any questions or want to know where your current skills lie\, please don’t hesitate to ask! \nWhat happens?\nChannel Setting \n\nUse burrs and gravers to remove material to create a seat for round stones\nUse stone setting pushers to set round stones in a line\nUse bearing cutters and burrs to channel set square stones\nUse stone setting pushers to set square stones in a line\n\nIt doesn’t look like much written down\, but there is a whole heap of work that goes into the preparation of these styles before you even get near setting the stones. I hope you like drilling and burring\, as we spend a great deal of time accurately removing metal to get these stones not only where they need to be\, but securely set too! \nThis day course will give you a fantastic understanding of next-level setting that will give your designs and technical ability a boost.
