Cabochon, pronounced cab-uh-shon, is defined as a gemstone that has been shaped and polished rather than faceted. The term comes from the French word “caboche,” which means head or noggin. Cabochon gemstones generally have a smooth, domed top surface and a flat base. \u003cspan\u003eWe will demonstrate and guide you through the entire process of using trim saws, grinding wheels and cabbing machines to transform a slab or uncut stone into a finished cabochon that's ready to be set into metal\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e. We have lots of raw stones and slabs for you to choose from, but you will also have the option to bring your own stone. If you already have a stone that you'd like to try to cut, bring it along and we will work with you on the best way to approach it - every stone is different, and it’s not guaranteed that your stone will work out, but we will guide you through the process either way. Whether you choose to use your own stones or select some of ours, we will make sure that you have \u003ci\u003eat least\u003c\/i\u003e one finished cabochon by the end of the day.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eOn day two, we will be fabricating a sterling \u0026amp; fine silver, bezel-set stone ring. We will demonstrate and walk you through each step of the process of transforming silver sheet, wire \u0026amp; your cabochon into a wearable piece of art. At the end of the day, you'll leave with a one of a kind ring, made entirely with your own two hands. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eConsiderations: \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe will provide protective aprons and masks, but please wear clothing that can take a beating, as we will be working with some harsh chemicals and open flames. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlease bring whatever snacks, drinks and other provisions you need to get through the day, as you will be processing lots of new information and we want your mind and body to be well-fueled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWe will be working with some teeny-tiny details, so if you wear glasses, please bring them so you can see! \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eIf you have long, manicured nails that you'd like to protect, this may impact your ability to engage with some of the techniques that you'll be learning in this class.
