A course I haven't actually been on yet...

While dissolving brass and steel into gunk yesterday (electoretching!) I had the opportunity to have a chat with a full-time setter. His name's Thomas Wellburn, he's based at Making Space in Havant and he's running a 10 week course on mounting or setting. He's teaching pavé from the start - on the grounds that once you've got the hang of that, all the other settings are easy... Oh, and he's just won a Gold Award in the 2011 Goldsmiths Craft and Design Council awards for gemstone setting.

Should be fun
