Level I Metalsmithing for Jewelry with Jamie McLandsborough

This hands-on workshop meets for four Wednesday evening sessions on April 4, 11, 18 & 25

In this class we will practice primary techniques to complete two to three finished stacking rings set with stones. We will be practicing measuring, cutting, forming, soldering rings and bezels, setting cabochon, textures and finishing. This is an excellent class if you have never taken a jewelry course or would like to brush up on your jewelry skills.

About the Instructor
Jamie Mclandsborough has been working in the jewelry field for 20 years, since he was first introduced to soldering by a wonderful high school art teacher. Jamie has apprenticed, taken courses through GIA, tested with the Jewelers of America and studied extensively but still believes there is no better way to learn than a little bit of knowledge and a whole lot of experimentation. Jamie currently works as a bench jeweler at Gusterman’s Silversmiths in Downtown Denver, served on the Board of CoMA, and takes classes anywhere he can, most recently right here in the BoMA studio.
