Beginning Jewelry: Sea Glass Pendant

In this workshop you will learn the basics of setting sea glass. Everyone loves finding sea glass, and everyone wants to make it into a beautiful pendant that will showcase the little found gems. Students will learn how to cut metal and create a bezel setting for sea glass. Students are encouraged to bring several pieces of sea glass, or bags of it. Honestly, I know we all have jars of it filled at home. However, we will select ONE piece of sea glass. Preferably smaller than an inch, with a flat smooth bottom and soft, rounded edges. We will then turn that little gem into a stunning, elegant pendant. Students will have the option of working in sterling silver, copper or brass. 

Materials fee will vary depending on materials used. Students will leave class with a solid foundation of metal smithing skills and a beautiful new sea-worthy pendant!
