​Class Description
In this class we will practice piercing and overlay techniques as well as forming and finishing techniques to create a pair of matched earrings and possibly a pendant. We will also cover design and project planning, saw tips and tricks for replicating designs, advanced soldering techniques, texturing and finishing techniques. You will have the option to include a prong set stone in your design and are welcome to work as fast or as slow as you prefer. 

This is an excellent class if you have taken several jewelry courses and would like to level up your skills. Please bring your problems and questions to this class. We will talk about creative work arounds and time saving techniques that will improve your overall production.


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.
