Class Descriptions Please take time to look at each instructor’s class so you will be sure what materials and skills the class covers. Not all classes or instructors in a subject cover the same materials, skills, or techniques.

Sara Adams - Wire Sara has been making and seeing her creations since age fourteen. After a career in nursing and raising four children, she returned to her love of art. In 1980, she studied and she taught painting and other crafts, opening an art studio in St. Augustine, FL in 1990. Eventually, her love of jewelry led her to wire art. First, she studied privately under Cherie Crist, and then she found William Holland. Sara has studied under Jessie Donnan, Betty Baxter, Ruth Ann More and Gene Sheridan, and has experienced wire sculpture under Irene Francis and Dianne Mason. She has been teaching at William Holland since 2003 and is dedicated to the School. Wire I [6/3] This is a good, easy class for those who wish to advance their skills. Sara has given Wire I a new twist, she combines wire with beads. This class offers all the basics of wire wrapping. We will cover bracelets, rings, wrapping, cabochons, how to do a beaded chain and much more. Lab fee covers enough wire, findings, cabochons and beads to complete about 13 projects. We will be using sterling, gold filled and copper wire. Cabochons, beads, etc. will be provided. You only need to bring a sweater, Optivisor (if needed) and a camera. Lab Fee: $175 Estimated Material Cost: 0+ Prerequisites: None Wire II [10/14] This class will build on the skills learned in Wire I. We will be learning to wrap double and triple cabochons, bracelets, and rings, as well as several ways to expand on designs and techniques that you already know. We will touch on wire weaving and wire sculpture. This will be a fun and relaxed class. You will have the opportunity to complete at least thirteen projects. Lab Fee covers cost of all supplies, including sterling, gold filled and copper wire, as well as cabochons and crystals. Lab Fee: $179 Estimated Materials Cost: 0+ Prerequisites: Wire I and some experience. Steve Adams- Cabochons Steve is a retired Air Force officer and former systems analyst. He began cabbing in 2005. He is also a rookie opal cutter. Steve learned cabbing so his wife Gloria could use his cabochons in her wire wrap jewelry. As he learned, his passion developed and he discovered it was both relaxing and fun. Steve is a member of the Alabama Mineral and Lapidary society. His cabochons can be seen online at: http://www.bitterbrookcabochons.com Cabochons I

[4/15, 4/22, 10/21, 10/28] Students will learn the basics of cutting cabochons including selecting rough, using the trim saw, shaping and polishing. We will also cover how to find scratches in cabochons and how to eliminate flat spots, skills necessary to quality cabochon production. Equipment safety and learning, types of cabochons edges, techniques for creating domes, and cleaning up will also be included (all students are expected to help clean the room at week’s end). “Additional credit” may be earned for finding something good to cut in the throwaway bin. Everyone will be required to start with calibrated cabochons and may move to freeform once they have grasped the basics and feel comfortable. Students with prior experience may progress at an advanced pace, but must still be attentive during all lectures and demonstrations. Advanced techniques such as freeform cuts, symmetrical cabochons, doublets, cabochon repairs and other topics will be discussed depending on student progress. Neither crosses nor hearts will be cut in this class. Lab fee includes pre-forms and printed materials provided by the instructor. Students are encouraged to bring slabs to use in class. Slabs will be available for purchase from the instructor for $1.00 and up; total cost depends on productivity. Do not bring rough of any size to class; students will not have access to a slabbing saw during class. Lab Fee: $20 Estimated Materials Cost: $5-$25+ Prerequisites: None Lance Andrus -- Faceting Lance graduated from SUNY Potsdam with a degree in Geology and a Masters in teaching Secondary Earth Science. He has been teaching eighth grade science in Fayetteville, NC since 2002. He and his wife Laura discovered the peace, tranquility and sense of family that William Holland offers in 2007. They have been members of the family ever since. Lance began faceting using Jeff Graham's instructional book and refined his craft by taking classes from David Corn at William Holland. Faceting I [6/24, 7/29] This course will give the student the necessary skills to facet your first stones. Students will cut a simple octagon shape in synthetic quartz as their first stone. Students will learn wax dopping, how to use a faceting machine, stone transfer, lap maintenance and other techniques. The lab fee includes a manual, rough for two stones and an Ultralap polishing lap. Students may bring in their own rough if they choose; nothing harder than a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. Students should bring a n Optivisor or similar head mounted magnifying device.

Lab fee: $50 Estimated Materials Cost: $0 Tom and Kay Benham- Chasing and Repousse Tom and Kay Benham have co-edited their “Ask The Experts” column since 2002 for Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist in which they field questions on a variety of metalworking and lapidary topics. They’ve had more than 60 projects, articles and reviews published for the magazine. The Benhams live and work in the Orlando area where they are active members of the Northeast Chapter of The Florida Society of Goldsmiths. The Benhams teach a variety of workshops, but not limited to: Chasing & Repoussé, Chasing & Repoussé Bracelets, Foldforming, Hydraulic Press Bracelets, Foldforming, Metalworking Basics, Intarsia, Stone Carving, and Traditional and Non-Traditional Stone Settings in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas and Colorado. Chasing and Repousse- Basics and Beyond [5/13, 5/20, 9/23, 9/30] Learn this ancient art using modern techniques to create small scale jewelry with an emphasis on chasing clean, crisp lines. Have no fear as Tom & Kay share their love of moving metal as they guide students from mastering the basics to tackling more advanced projects. A toolbox containing a pitch pot, chasing hammer, chasing and repoussé tools, base metal, and other necessary tools and equipment well as patterns and other equipment will be provided for student use. Alternate approaches and short cuts to standard chasing & repoussé methods will be presented. New and returning students welcome. Please bring an Optivisor or other form of magnification, closed-toed shoes, a Task light – Not Halogen, and an apron. Optional: Sterling Silver, 22 gauge, 21 square, for advanced projects, 24 or 26 gauge for earrings, Nugold (see above for size), Toolbox w/basic metal working tools. Lab Fee: $110 Estimated Material Cost: $0 Prerequisites: none David Bergquist - Cabochons Dave has always had an interest in minerals and fossils. After retirement, he joined the Rock Club in Fort Walton Beach, FL, where he began to develop a variety of lapidary skills. He started taking classes at William Holland and Wild Acres in 2007. Although many lapidary skills were enjoyable, cabochons quickly became his favorite. Soon he had a basement full of grinders, laps and polishers, and too many rocks to store neatly. He and his wife, Sandra, started a small lapidary and jewelry business selling out of their home, on the Internet and at art and craft shows. Wanting to foster enthusiasm for his craft in others, he eventually started teaching lapidary at home, in his club and at William Holland. David treats each cab as an object of art, attempting to develop and present the unique patterns and colors of each stone to obtain the most interesting and pleasing result. Because his enthusiasm for

lapidary is infectious, David’s classes are always entertaining and rewarding for beginners and old hands alike. Cabochons 1 [5/13, 5/27] This course includes the fundamentals of material selection, orientation, shaping and polishing of a variety of stones. Students will learn safety and proper use of lapidary equipment. They will learn to form standard, template cabochons, first with a softer stone and then with a harder stone. After the first two cabs, students will learn a variety of shapes and freeform techniques using their own materials or slabs purchased from the instructor. Students will learn to maximize the potential of each cab by tailoring orientation, size, and shape to the unique properties of each stone. Custom shapes for specific jewelry applications will also be explored. After competence in cutting single stones is achieved, students will be introduced to composite cabochons. Lab fee includes instruction pamphlet, sharp shooter pen, glue, display box and material for the first two cabs. Materials cost will depend on the amount and type of material purchased. Lab fee: $25.00 Estimated materials cost: $0-$60.00 Prerequisites: None Sandra Bergquist - Wire Sandra's interest in wire art began with a two hour class in wire wrapping in 2004. When she wanted to go beyond that initial course, she was directed to William Holland. To repay what she has called "The Gift of William Holland", she vowed that, if she ever became good enough, she would teach every chance she got. Consequently, Sandra (who started teaching in 2008) has taught for numerous organizations in a wide variety of settings. In addition to teaching wire and chain at William Holland and to members of her rock and gem club, she is currently providing private lessons while also conducting workshops in her area. Because her workshops include students of widely varying skill levels and interests, Sandra has become adept at managing multiple, concurrent projects for diverse groups.

He credits his success to the insight gained from studying Malvina Hoffman’s books on sculpture. He has taught carving in colleges, museums and schools across Canada and the United States. Sandy refuses to believe that carving requires any special talent. Rather he prefers to trust that the urge to create is inherent in all of us, and that the teacher should promote these values in those seeking knowledge. His classes create a very congenial, cohesive, atmosphere that has resulted in some excellent carvings from students who never believed they could carve. Sandy has been asked to create pieces for awards and presentations by various colleges and organizations such as Sir Sanford Fleming College, the Canadian Synchronized Swimming Team, the Cleveland Museum of Natural History, the Canadian Nurses Association, Sports Canada and the Women’s World Hockey Championships. Examples of his work can be found at: http://www.soapstonesculpture.com Carving I- Soapstone Carving [9/30] This course will provide a general introduction to the carving of soapstone.

Tom Mitchell - Faceting I have been an amateur geologist since college and have been fascinated by rocks and crystals all my life. Since retiring from a career in fire safety, I have pursued these interests vigorously and over the past several years I have acquired a modest collection of gem rough. I had a few of these pieces faceted by someone else, which turned out to be exorbitantly expensive. So I took up faceting at William Holland with Bill Compliment (Faceting 1) and David Corn (Faceting 2). I purchased my first faceting machine, an Ultra Tec V2 Digital, in 2009 after completing Faceting 1 and upgraded it to the V5 Digital in 2012, and I have never stopped or slowed down with my faceting interests. I am currently the President of the Tomoka Faceters Guild in Central Florida, and Vice President of the United States Faceters Guild. I also teach basic geology, gem and

mineral identification and faceting at The Villages Gem and Mineral Society in The Villages, Florida. My wife and I have a jewelry business and I have been evaluating, cutting and setting stones for customers since early 2010. I love taking a rock and turning it into a thing of beauty, a treasure. Faceting I [4/29, 5/6, 7/1, 8/5, 9/2] We will be working with any of a number of faceting machines owned by the school. If you have your own machine, bring it with you and I will show you how to get the most out of it. If you use the equipment provided by William Holland, you are prohibited from cutting anything harder than Quartz, 7.0 on the Mohs Scale. To cut anything harder you will have to provide your own laps. No math is needed to do basic faceting. All you need is the ability to read, follow directions and perhaps have a little patience. I will take the mystery out of learning this art by getting you acquainted with your machine, how it works and how to care for it. Plus you will learn how to read and follow a faceting design. We will also learn a bit about gems, how they were formed, what gives them color, and how to get the most out of them. We will be doing very delicate work which requires magnification to see properly. So, you will need to have an Optivisor (minimum +4 optics), which you can purchase through me, through the school, or on line. Your lab fee will cover my book, “Faceting 1, Learn The Fine Art of Gem Faceting, It’s Easy”, plus your first stone, several easy faceting diagrams, one Spectra Ultra Lap for polishing, two paper protectors, one to store your Ultra Lap and one to store your diagrams, a microfiber towel and more. Lab fee $50.00 Estimated Materials Cost: $0 Prerequisites: None Faceting II [7/8, 8/12, 9/9] To fit comfortably in this class you should have taken a Faceting 1 class or you should have cut approximately 10 stones on your own.
