Tube Set Gemstone RingFebruary 1, 2:00pm - 5:00pmSee Other DatesMixed Media Class By Vilina HutterClass Fee: $100.00Kit Fee: $75.00
Skill Level: Beginner
In this class, you will learn how to create a tube set gemstone ring in silver using just a butane torch--
simple equipment you can safely use at home.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire
ring. Using a purchased tube setting, you will also add a faceted gem to your ring, and finally you will
learn to polish your completed jewelry using affordable and approachable tools and techniques.
You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a calibrated 5 mm round stone, and it should not be
too fragile. I do reserve the right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the ring from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, stone setting, and polishing. You will learn how to measure your metal
precisely for an accurate ring size—and how to adjust if your plans go awry!
All tools are provided, but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. You will
receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class and a list of tools for purchase if you choose.
My teaching style and goal is for all my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning
environment. If you have any questions before enrolling, please email me at
studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.

Water Casting Silver Gemstone PendantFebruary 2, 10:00am - 4:30pmMixed Media Class By Vilina HutterClass Fee: $100.00Kit Fee: $150.00
Skill Level: All
In this class, you will learn how to use a fun and interesting technique to cast organic silver cup shapes in
silver using just a butane torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a sophisticated
piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have made a collection of silver shapes, you will pick several and, under the careful guidance
of an experienced instructor, you will use them to create the illustrated pendant, or a close variation of
that design.
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing. All tools are provided, but will be
affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. Using a pre-made bezel cup, you will also
add a rose-cut gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to suspend
your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all
my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.

starting point.

soldering, texturing, filing, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided, but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. You will
receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all my
students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .

Bezel Set Gemstone PendantFebruary 4, 10:00am - 4:30pmStone Setting Class By Vilina HutterClass Fee: $100.00Kit Fee: $150.00
Skill Level: All
In this class, you will learn how to create a bezel set gemstone pendant in silver using just a butane
torch--simple equipment you can safely use at home.
This class is a full six hours so that a small group (enrollment is limited to eight) of students can be
carefully and calmly coached through a simple series of steps that combine to create a sophisticated
piece of jewelry. We will take a short break at a mutually agreed upon time in the middle of the day.
Once you have chosen your gemstone from a selection made available in class, you will create this entire
pendant, including the bezel, the background texture, and the bail. You may supply your own gemstone,
but it must be a flat back cabochon stone, and it should not be too big or too fragile. I do reserve the
right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the pendant from sheet and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, granulation, stone setting, and polishing. All tools are provided, but will be
affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. Using a custom fabricated bezel, you will
also add a cabochon gem to your pendant, and finally you will learn to make your own bail and to
suspend your pendant kinetically from its chain using a heat riveting technique.
You will receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all
my students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.

Soldering attachments to a fine chain is an art, and you will learn techniques to control the solder flow
and to protect your chain from the heat of the torch.
You may supply your own gemstone, but it must be a calibrated 5 mm flat back cabochon stone, and it
should not be too fragile. I do reserve the right to suggest your use of a class gemstone for learning!
You will construct the necklace from chain and wire using traditional metalsmithing techniques such as
soldering, texturing, filing, stone setting, and polishing.
All tools are provided, but will be affordable and approachable options for the home jeweler. You will
receive comprehensive illustrated handouts for the class. My teaching style and goal is for all my
students to see a successful conclusion in a safe and fun learning environment. If you have any
questions before enrolling, please email me at studiominerock@gmail.com .
Things to bring with you to class: any magnification you might need for close up work, plus a battery
operated task light if you want it—the classrooms at the show can be a little dimly lit!
No cancellations or refunds can be made less than a week before class due to travel and shipping
logistics. If the class is full, please send me an email. I will put you on a cancellation notification list.
