Time: 9am-4pm

Class Fee: Only $275 (non-refundable),

Join Master Coldworking artist Kent Lauer for this brand new, one-day class. Students will learn the basics of coldworking and beveling and will have the opportunity to make beautiful, faceted dichroic glass pendants. A thin layer of amazing patterned dichroic glass will be laminated between two layers of optically clear glass, which is then ground and polished into an incredible jewel.

This exciting hands-on class will cover all aspects of creating these breathtaking pendants, from cutting 1/2" thick glass with a diamond ring saw, to laminating and beveling. Students will have the option of affixing bails to the pendants the day of the class, or taking them home to wire wrap or set them in precious metal clay or silver. "Not only will students learn to make dichroic pendants in this intensive class, at the same time they are learning the basics of cold working and beveling. It is really like three classes in one," Lauer says.

Class size is limited to ensure individual attention, and each student will have full-time access to a 12" diamond lap grinding machine. No glass cutting experience required.
