Beach Glass and Pebbles Bezel
This lesson is the distance version of the traditional bezel workshop that I teach in classrooms. You’ll learn the fundamentals of designing, cutting, filing, soldering, surface treatments and bezel-setting irregularly-shaped sea glass and pebbles. No experience necessary (that’s why it’s so comprehensive). We will begin with cold techniques and graduate to hot, using crème ...
This lesson is the distance version of the traditional bezel workshop that I teach in classrooms. You’ll learn the fundamentals of designing, cutting, filing, soldering, surface treatments and bezel-setting irregularly-shaped sea glass and pebbles. No experience necessary (that’s why it’s so comprehensive). We will begin with cold techniques and graduate to hot, using crème brûlée torches. I have developed non-toxic alternatives to the traditional chemicals that most studios/schools use. Note: there are a lot of jewelry tools involved in this robust project. The good news is that you’ll have invested in approximately 85% of the tools it takes to start a serious jewelry studio (or take other workshops). And, if you take more of my distance learning lessons, you’ll have about 90% of the tools you need to do them!
As of 28Oct08 I have 105 images which include diagrams black/white and (mostly) color photos. The document is 71 pages long.
This labor intensive workshop normally takes six+ hours to teach in a classroom full of people. The good news with distance learning lessons is that you pace yourself to the beat of your own drummer!
Pre-requisites: For the bezel itself, none. It’s taught from the ground up. To hand make the chains or jump rings you’ll need other lessons.
Cost: $135.00 US Dollars.
If you are interested, email me and request "What's Available and How Much" and you'll get all the details on my jewelry distance learning lessons. Yes, there are a lot more available than are listed on Teach Street!

Review of Iris Sandkuhler, May 02, 2009
What you learn is really all up to the instructor. I have taken many jewelry classes in the Bay area and Iris is the best! Iris not only teaches you technique and gives you inspiration, she educates you on the "safety" issues, which shouldn't be overlooked. Iris is able to teach all skill levels in one class, giving each student personal attention to ensure you get the most from her class. I highly recommend any of her classes and know that you will keep going back for more, like I have. Thank you Iris!

I took Iris' classes at City College of SF. She is absolutely one of the great teachers I've known! I would definitely love to take her classes again in the future. T. Fujimura
