Prerequisites: You should have some jewelry making experience and soldering skills.

This online, on-demand course is for jewelry makers interested in learning how to make their own prong basket settings which can be used in earrings, pendants, rings and bracelets. The
instructor is Tom Woods, who has taught the equivalent 'live' prong classes at Littleton Studio many times. This online version is broken into eight short lessons that you can watch any time, as often as you like. Go at your own pace. Progress as quickly or as slowly as you need.

The course covers all the information you need in short convenient lessons. You will move step-by-step from start to finish as you make a pendant that has a stone you set yourself in your own handmade basket setting.

This online course covers the same material as a weekend workshop. It totals a little over an hour of direct instruction that is broken up into eight individual lessons. You will practice by following along
and making your own basket setting, a beautiful stone pendant.

The lessons are presented on YouTube. If you have questions about certain parts, you can write comments with your questions and Tom will provide answers. Watch on your phone, tablet, or laptop while you make the pendant yourself.

This course is almost like buying a book about making prong settings, except it's better because you can watch as the instructor completes each step. You will like the price too. The course is substantially less expensive than a live weekend workshop. Instead, the course is priced more like an authoritative book about making prong settings.
If you are waiting to take a live course, or if you took one but need a refresher, this will be the perfect complement.

When you enroll in this Prong Basket Setting Course, you will receive an email with attachments that include links to all eight lessons. You will also receive a list of all the tools and materials you'll need, plus a list of resources to turn to should you need to purchase tools or supplies. The lessons are hosted on YouTube. To access the course just click on a link with your internet connected device and you will go immediately to the lesson. They are yours, on demand, any time you want, forever.
