    We have a few spaces left in the upcoming Jacob Snow gold carving
    workshop. The class will be held in my studio in Salida, CO. Sept.
    18-22 , 5 days price is $425.00. Course description follows. Jerry
    Scavezze 

    This five day workshop is designed to hone your piercing technique
    and learn the basics of hand carving with gravers. You will learn to
    prepare gravers properly, layout, scribe, pierce and then carve the
    design into a finished piece. Workshop fee (50.00) will include metal
    (Sterling) and a set of gravers that you will shape and then take
    home with you. Upon registration we will provide you with a list of
    common hand tools you will need to bring. Jacob is one of the best
    stonesetters in the country, (he set Michael Good's triple loop
    bracelet, square diamonds in a piece that flexes and none of the
    stones come out). He will talk about stone setting science and
    practices, but advanced stone setting is another course. This course
    will be primarily about carving gold. Google Jacob Snow or Tom Herman
    to get an idea of the technique. These two goldsmiths are among the
    best jewelers in the country and exhibit two visions of the same
    technique. This class is not for beginners, you need to have a basic
    working knowledge of metalsmithing techniques. Questions, call (719)
