BASIC STONE CARVING
Tom and Kay Benham


PictureAdapted Cabs
Have you ever wanted to add a small stone inside a cabochon you're using in your jewelry design? Give the cabochon a better polish or make changes to its shape?

In this information-packed workshop with the Tom and Kaye Benham, you'll get an introduction to basic lapidary skills as well as how to saw, grind, drill, carve and polish small stones for inclusion into jewelry.



Owning a shop full of expensive lapidary equipment is nice but not actually a necessity as students will learn how to make use of tools they already have on hand to grind, carve and work the stone and to make the polishing points required for achieving an exceptional finish on gemstones.

Students will learn to create a textured surface and to embed metal and stone into ordinary cabochons, transforming them into spectacular centerpieces, with very little work.
