Learn to bezel-set a stone in silver with artisan Rachel Grose.

In this 2-day workshop you will discover how to set a round stone: selecting your semi-precious gem; fitting, cutting and soldering the silver setting; fixing the setting to a simple ring.

You will then extend your new skills by setting a stone into a pendant of your own design.

At the end of the workshop you will take your unique pieces to add to your jewellery collection.

This is an intermediate workshop suitable for participants who have already completed one of Rachel's introductory silversmithing sessions.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
