Don’t let lack of stone setting ability hold back your jewelry designing! Learn how to set almost any stone anywhere on your creations. I will cover basic instruction in all of the main styles of setting (thick and thin bezels for round and fancy shaped stones, prong settings, flush or gypsy setting, pavé, channel. Also, how to make your own prong settings rather than purchasing mass manufactured ones. There will be time for individuals to focus on their own projects, receiving individualized instruction to suit their designs' needs.

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
CATHERINE DINING grew up in Pacifica, CA. She started making jewelry in a high school jewelry shop class 40 years ago. Catherine went to CCAC, Penland School, and The Revere Academy of Jewelry Arts, then worked for Bay Area jewelers for 15 years. For the last 20 years she has run her own business, doing everything from trade work (mostly diamond setting), to teaching, to traveling around the country to high-end craft shows to sell her designs wholesale and retail, to most recently running her own custom design store, for the past 8 years. Besides making jewelry, creativity and art play a big role in Catherine’s life, through gardening, cooking, playing and listening to music, reading and writing.
