Description

MASTER CLASS: INNOVATE AND INTEGRATE WITH STONE AND METAL INSTRUCTOR: MICHAEL BOYD AND JOSIAH TRUJILLO  

This hands-on class is designed for jewelers and artists who want to expand their skills in both lapidary and metalworking by learning how to cut custom shapes and forms that seamlessly integrate with their designs. Through a series of step-by-step demonstrations, you will learn techniques for cutting basic shapes in stone, while exploring creative ways to join stone and metal. Discover innovative methods such as piercing, drilling, riveting, layering, grooving, and laminating in both stone and metal to create unique and cohesive pieces. This class will not only teach you the technical aspects of gemstone cutting but also inspire you to design with your materials in mind, rather than working around them, offering fresh perspectives on combining metal and stone in your art.
