CLASS DESCRIPTION:

In this workshop, we will explore my unconventional, and now signature, approach to organic prong setting, using unusual techniques to grasp a stone for a pendant, while experimenting with a variety of simple but dynamic hinges to add movement, and discussing the importance of making your own chain and findings. depending on your confidence and skill level, you can choose to do one stone, or design a piece with multiple stones. and what the heck, how about we try some tube setting while we’re at it?
You should be able to walk away with a fantastic new piece to wear to the Cinco de Mayo celebration gathering that Friday evening at Multiplicity!

PREREQUISITE: Advanced beginner / Intermediate

INSTRUCTOR BIO: 

Ace, of Studio Luna Verde, wandered (and settled) into the shadow of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, after many years exploring and hiking and driving all over the western U.S., livIng in places like Point Arena, California / Moab, Utah / Flagstaff, Arizona. Experiences have included driving 1950s era tour buses for Green Tortoise Adventure Travel / performing for a year with a three-ring circus / hiking into (and out of) the Grand Canyon so many times she’s lost count / living out of a ’72 Toyota Landcruiser for three (and a half) years while exploring the U.S. / and failing miserably at surfing on the Sea of Cortez in Baja California. She loves spicy chocolate, and lightning storms. Her largest creation thus far is having built her own studio, where she currently makes her eclectic jewelry and unabashedly embraces the art of imperfection.
