    Noel, I can tell you that the $$ spent on either class is probably
    worth it.  Last summer I took Blaine's class on stone setting at Kate
    Wolf's in Maine.  It was 5 intense days and at times I wonder why did
    sign up for this class.

    Blaine either worked with him or apprenticed with him I don't
    remember (Sorry Blaine)  But he has taken the fear out of stone
    setting for me! 

    We started with simple settings, bezel, gypsy or flush and went
    right thru to channel setting princess cuts. The only thing I did not
    try was the pave! Well, I was not the fastest student and just barely
    set one of each type but what I learned has come back to me ten fold.
     I maybe struggling with a free form cab and suddenly something
    Blaine said in class comes screaming into my head and viola.  If you
    really want to add faced stones to your designs and not just rounds I
    highly recommend Blaine's class! BTW, I checked out your work -- very
    nice!
