In this class students will learn how to miter and bend metal to form crisp geometric bezels for unique stones. Hone your soldering skills as we problem solve for complex soldering setups to build airlines into our bezel to create structure for a gliding pendant. You’ll also experience the pure euphoria of successfully setting geometric stones with scary points!
About the instructor
Baleigh Acebo has tinkered with craft and jewelry since she was a wee adolescent. After pursuing a BFA in Creative Writing she realized she had made a terrible mistake on a very expensive education because what she wanted to do was work with her hands. She then enrolled in the North Bennet Street School’s Jewelry Making & Repair program in Bahston, MA and everything was good again. Baleigh was technically trained to craft her own tools, fabricate intricate pieces from scratch, handset diamonds & precious gems and repair fine jewelry.Baleigh is a process jeweler and gets turned on from the problem solving involved in designing intricate pieces and setting weird stones. Her work employs clean lines, industrial elements & graceful geometry that she finds inspiring from everyday design. Baleigh works out of her home studio that she shares with her hubs Alex, along with their 3 adorable floofs.
