Metal Clay Prong Settings for Rocks, Seaglass and More

Do you have a special rock, piece of seaglass or another complex shaped treasure that you’d like to set in a silver pendant? In this class you’ll learn the secret to making prong settings that hold oddly shaped items securely in place. The small class size allows for ample personal attention to create a piece of jewelry that is unique to you. You’ll learn to account for shrinkage of the clay and how to securely attach your prongs.
After class, Creator Haven will fire your pieces in their jewelry kilns and pre-polish them with their magnetic tumbler. You will return to pick up your finished pieces. Allow 10-15 minutes at pickup to add patina to your beads if desired.
Total cost for materials will vary within the stated range and is based on the silver market. Materials include silver metal clay, fine silver wire, consumables, handouts, and use of all tools and equipment.
Materials fee will be between $100-$145 paid in class
Bring a small treasure, no more than 1 inch in diameter. We’ll have some stones and other items for you to choose from at a discounted price if you don’t bring your own.
No experience necessary.  Class size is limited so register early!
