Housing assignments are made on a first, come-first, served basis. We cannot honor requests for specific rooms or buildings. We do our best to match students with the type of housing they request, but this is not always possible.

Sitting and Setting
Explore all the ways that metal and nonmetallic materials can be used to create one-of-a-kind settings that will hold your precious materials—from gemstones to found objects. We will cover the basic steps for making prong, tab, and flush settings, as well as settings made with alternative materials. We will also explore ways to set odd-shaped stones and objects. Students will learn and expand on the techniques of soldering, cutting, and finishing, and will leave with one or two completed pieces. All levels. Upper metals studio.
