Florida Society Of Goldsmiths - Modern Masters Workshop - Wildacres,
North Carolina - Oct. 26 - Nov 1, 2009
Michael Boyd - Integrating Stone and Metal
Prerequisite: Fabrication and basic stone setting skills. Learn how
to design with stone. Class will cover basic lapidary techniques to
better integrate stones into your metal work. This will involve
cutting and polishing stones along with how to drill holes in stones,
carve grooves and channels, glues, and laminations. We will also
explore various metal fabrications you will need to set the stones
you have cut. This workshop will cover some basic design and how to
use color.
FSG is again offering a workshop in the vein of Revere Academy East;
the guest instructor’s advanced class was always the most popular -
now we are offering you a choice of those advanced classes from
modern masters in the field!
Come join us this fall and watch the color of the leaves change as
you approach from the Blue Ridge Parkway. It is only a days drive
from several states (Ohio, mid-Florida, etc).
