Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

My goal is to complete a 3 day intensive metalsmithing course at Quench Jewelry Arts in Minneapolis that focuses on techniques for ring fabrication and stone setting. The outcome of the project will be that I obtain formal metalsmith training, as well as walk away with completed pieces that require the skills of ring making and stone setting. Skills include: making bezels, stone setting, tips and tricks for soldering, embellishing around the bezel and sizing rink shanks. My goal will be met at the end of the weekend when I complete the course and walk away with my completed pieces and knowledge that I am able to take and use at my own bench.

Measurable Outcome(s)

I completed a 3 day intensive metalsmithing course at Quench Jewelry Arts (June 9, 10 and 11) with instructor Sarah Sitarz -I walked away from the class with 3 completed rings that required the skills of making bezel, stone setting, sizing ring shanks and soldering.
