About
Expand your fabricating skills and open yourself up to using these dramatic settings. Learn to make several different styles of prong settings, so you can include more faced stones in your work. We will be fabricating settings by cutting, filling, soldering and forming with wire and tube. You will want to be comfortable with soldering and manipulating small pieces of metal. This class focuses on fabricating in metal not on stone setting, but if you want to learn how to set stones in prong settings, check the calendar for the prong setting class.
