About Your Host

The August Axel Jewelry Studio is a creative workshop in Venice Beach, CA. The Studio and course offerings were designed to serve a range of skills and interests from talented tinkerers to advanced artists. Our goal is to provide solid and safe bench-instruction, combined with hands-on practice, so artists may operate safely, independently and successfully. COURSES: Beginning, Intermediate and Advanced Soldering. Bezel Setting. Tube Setting. Flush Setting. Prong Setting. Metalsmithing. Cold-Connections. Wire Wrapping. Knotting. Private or Group Lessons. And more. INSTRUCTORS: As Owner and Senior Instructor, Christy Sears brings a wealth of knowledge to the bench. With 15+ years of jewelry soldering and metal fabrication, endless patience and a healthy sense of humor, she creates a warm and welcoming learning environment. Not only does she believe in teaching "how", but "why" and this has made all of the difference to her students. All of the August Axel Jewelry Studio instructors create the same atmosphere, so students may reach their goals.

What we'll do

PRE-REQUISITE :: Jewelry Soldering for Beginners or practical experience with a jewelry torch This is not an entry-level class :: Tube-setting is a stylish way to incorporate round, faceted gemstones in your designs. It’s also the gateway to more complex stone setting, so warn your friends and family that your “Craft Crack” is ratcheting-up a another notch!! In this 4-hour class, students will learn to measure, cut and solder the tube to a curved ring band, cut a seat for a faceted CZ and secure the stone in the piece. If time allows, the Instructor will also demonstrate a telescoping-tube setting. Expect to have fun, meet interesting people and leave with the skills & knowledge to work independently! A $20 materials fee will be collected on-site. Safety Requirements :: No Exceptions • Closed-toed, low-heeled or no-heeled shoes • Comfortable “play-clothes”. No flowing sleeves or too much bulk • Long hair must be worn in a bun or ponytail • Protective eyewear will be provided and must be worn Location The Studio address will be provided to Students who enroll in the class
