In person in our Aberdeen studio or at your workshop, learn professional techniques to improve your work. If there is a particular skill that you want to learn that is not listed below, email for a bespoke class.
Flush setting
This class can be adjusted based on skill level. We focus on round stones for newer setters, but for folks with some experience, we can work on flush setting fancy cut stones.
Work is done under a microscope using a Lindsay Air graver to assist with setting.
Included in the supplies kit is a specially designed flush setting burnisher.

Then the student will learn common engraving patterns and more advanced techniques. including engraving on curved surfaces.This is best done as a two day class though good progress can be made in one day.

Consider this Pave setting 101, students will learn basic concepts of pave setting. The student will pave set lines, geometric shapes, and setting on curves. In addition students will learn how to make and prepare tools. This class is best done in two days if possible.

Bead and bright setting is the art of taking a stone's shape and giving it a new outline. Students will learn how to shape and prepare gravers. Then using a microscope and a Lindsay air graver, create and set decorative bead and bright settings. This class is aimed at intermediate setters who should be able to flush set stones.
At the moment, my studio is only set up to teach one student at a time. If you have a properly equipped workshop, I can teach up to six students at a time.
I try to keep my classes during the work week, but with enough notice, I may be able to accommodate the occasional weekend. Please email me for availability.
I try to keep my classes between 9 and 5, with some time for a lunch break. I have a kettle, but otherwise, plan on visiting one of the local takeaways for hot meals or bring a bagged lunch.
There are several hotels within walking distance. Parking is available at the studio for folks who prefer to drive in.
Classes are £350 per day plus materials.
