FACETING I/II
INSTRUCTOR: TOM MITCHELL
If you have never faceted a stone before or if you have cut many stones but need to brush up on your skills or need help with a problem, this class is for you. For beginners, you will learn roughly how to identify your gem rough, how to choose a design, where to place the dop on the stone and how to dop it, hot to cut, polish and transfer, how to realign, how to complete the stone and finally, hot to clean and store it. For experienced faceters, I will help you hone your skills, improve your output and how to fix your problems. Beginners will get a kit with my book on faceting, about a dozen designs, a cerium ultralap for polishing, a microfiber towel for wiping off your stones and much more plus your fist stone. Experienced faceters will get the same kit, but with a cerium topper lap, and more complex designs.
