May 1st & 2nd 2025 : Flush and Tube Setting Basics (BEGINNER/INTERMEDIATE)

2 Day Intensive Workshop
*all classes meet at Katie's jewelry studio in Greenville, South Carolina

Thursday May 1st & Friday May 2nd 2025 from 11 am -4 pm

Learn the basics of flush and tube setting!

In this course, students will be introduced to the technical aspects of flush and tube setting styles, and will have the opportunity to practice and develop their own personal skills at both setting styles.  Skills learned can be applied to all future projects.  

NOTE: The goal of this class is strictly technical.  Students will not focus on making a 'final piece' in this workshop, rather, they will focus intently on developing the skills to effectively and accurately flush and tube set, practicing until they get proficient.  
Both of these setting styles take lots of practice to perfect, but don't let this discourage you!  Practice makes perfect, and once this skill is mastered, it will make all your future stone setting projects easier.  

The cost of this class includes copper, cubic zirconia, and burs & bits that each student will use and take with them for future use.  

Students may work in sterling silver if they prefer, but it is not necessary.  Silver will be available for purchase on site.   

Katie has developed a very thorough set of handouts for this class that students will be provided to reference later.  

Prerequisite: Some prior silversmithing experience is helpful, including proficiencies in sawing, soldering, and bezel setting. 

Workshop Cancellation Policy:

Student Cancellation:
Due to the small class sizes and demand for each seat, if you are unable to attend a class for any reason, please notify Katie as soon as possible to allow another student to register for the class. 

Please note, we cannot offer refunds for student cancellations, but we can offer credit to be applied toward a future workshop based on the time frame in which you have notified us of your cancellation.

• Please notify us at least 72 hours prior to the workshop date and time for full credit towards another workshop.
• Less than 72 hours notice from class date and time, you will receive a 50% credit towards another workshop.
• If cancelled within 24 hours of workshop or if you are a no-show to class, we cannot offer any refund or class credit.  

*While extenuating circumstances happen from time to time and will be overlooked -- Katie reserves the right to unenroll and/or prevent future enrollments from any student that exhibits repeated cancellations.  Students who habitually enroll and then cancel, particularly at the last minute, may not be allowed to enroll in future classes, as this creates scheduling problems for everyone and often results in total cancellation of a class.  


Low-Enrollment Cancellation:
Workshop cancellations are decided three days before the start date. In the rare event that Katie must cancel a workshop due to insufficient enrollment, currently enrolled students will have the option to have the entire class fee refunded or held as credit for future workshops.

Age limitation:
This class is appropriate for students aged 16+, however students aged 9-16 may be permitted if a parent is also taking the class.
