    [Hoping that the second time will be a charm....] 

    Hello, Jot -- Perhaps it would be helpful if you were to specify
    which jewelrymaking processes you plan to cover.  Do you have the
    facilities and equipment to teach them hard-soldering?  Do you have
    enough hammers and pliers so that they can practice forging and wire
    shaping?  Will you 

    teach them sawing, bezel-setting, chasing, etching, repousse,
    engraving, 

    die-forming, etc., etc.  With what metals would you plan to work? 
    If these are high school students, I doubt that any of the usual
    processes are beyond them (if they are willing to work). 

    Also, I assume you would take them on a field trip to see how the
    metalworkers of India do these processes.  There's a lot of
    interesting metalworking that goes on in India -- I don't if any of
    such places are near Amritsar. 

    All the best, Judy Bjorkman
