Tube Setting Workshop

Tube setting is a great way to add the sparkle of faceted stones to your work. In this workshop you will practice tube setting in copper and then create a small sterling silver pendant/charm with at least 1 setting. CZ’s will be supplied. Other faceted stones will be available for purchase.
This is an intermediate workshop. Basic skills like sawing, filing, sanding, and drilling holes are required. No soldering experience required.
