The Stuart School in Jupiter might be helpful. Jim Stuart offers
3 one week courses: a basic course, a diamond setting course, and
a wax and casting course. Jim is a character, but he suppies a
lot of tips and tricks, and is quite proud of his students. Each
course is 5 days, 35 hours and $600. I believe he is closed until
January.
