    Dear Felicity, 

    Ronda Coryell will teach two granulation classes here at the Revere
    Academy in downtown San Francisco in January of 2004. Our students
    rave about Ronda and her enthusiasm. Her excitement is contagious.
    She is an amazing designer, jeweler and instructor. One of her
    designs, which was featured on the cover of the Revere catalog last
    spring, won the Saul Bell award in 2002.  I am sure you would gain an
    incredible amount from studying with her. 

    Here are the dates and class descriptions for Ronda's granulation
    classes next spring: 

    GRANULATION 1: SILVER   Elective Workshop
    9 am - 6 pm on Jan 26-28    $465 +$75 kit

    Spend three full days concentrating on this beautiful ancient
    technique. Learn the process of making granules, fusing metal and
    designing textures to use in your work. You will be introduced to the
    process through a slide presentation of the history of granulation
    from ancient to contemporary work. Expert demonstration is followed
    by hands-on experience as you design and create your own granulated
    jewels in fine silver. Prerequisite: Fabrication 3 or experience.  24
    hours 

    GRANULATION 2: GOLD   Elective Workshop
    9 am - 6 pm on Jan 30-Feb 1  $465 + $100 kit

    Expanding on Granulation 1, this class is a great opportunity for
    those experienced in granulation to move forward. Learn how to alloy
    22k gold, create more intricate patterns,  build up layers of
    granules as well as how to granulate on bezels, ring shanks, spheres,
    clasps, and more. (Students working in gold are required to provide
    their own sheet and wire. Gold granules are included in the kit
    price.) Prerequisite: Granulation 1. 24  hours

I hope to see you in class!
