Stacking Rings, Pendants & Earrings with Jamie McLandsborough

Class Description
In this class we'll practice primary techniques to complete several finished pieces of jewelry. We will start with measuring, forming, and soldering rings. Followed by filed design, textures and finishing. We will then form, fit and solder bezels for five millimeter round stones, form findings for both a pendant and earrings of your choice and solder each component together to complete a finished jewelry set.
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, serves on the Board of CoMA, and takes classes anywhere he can, most recently right here in the BoMA studio.
