Claw Setting with Judith Peterhoff and Demonstration into CAD software

Focus on spending the day learning a traditional jewellery technique, with contemporary jeweller Judith Peterhoff.

We will be learning how to prong set 5mm faceted sapphire stones, in silver.

You can either make a ring or a pendant on the day.

This workshop is perfect for practising complex stone settings as well as offering you the chance to refine soldering techniques, as we will be soldering fine wires.

After learning the traditional way of claw setting, Judith Peterhoff will also be doing a demonstration of how to create a claw setting by using the computer software programme CAD.

This will just be a demonstration which will give you a very brief insight of how to use a modern day software programme. You will get the chance to understand the differences between creating a claw setting by hand and also the financial difference of having something cast.
