Stone Setting in Silver Clay
£75.00
This online class covers 5 different ways to set non-fireable stones (i.e. stones that cannot be fired in place with your Silver Clay). We will cover both setting stones with commercially available settings as well as making your own to suit the larger stones you have.
It’s a class jam packed with all sorts of information you need to know in order to set your stones perfectly, every time!
