Joanna Goldberg - Dynamic Prong Setting - Denver School of Metal Arts

This three day workshop is focused on the design and creation of a brooch in order to give each student the opportunity of making many different sizes of custom prong settings. They will then incorporate them into a brooch of their own creation.
Joanna Gollberg will be instructing students in the fine art of prong making for a variety of stone types, which include but are not limited to: faceted, cabochon, rough, or partially rough. Just about any stone shape and size can be set in a prong setting.
Students will receive excellent instruction from a Master prong maker. This is Joanna's personal style, and what she has been making and selling for years!
