This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn from the master gem cutter of our time. Explore the hidden beauty in worlds, which are literally millions of years old. This hands-on class with Bernd Munsteiner focuses on cutting gem material that has natural inclusions such as rutiles, fractures, phantoms, feathers, clouds and perhaps even water inside. Listen, watch and learn how to design a gem around its naturally included “garden.” Through lectures, demonstrations, slides and hands-on experience, you will learn to design, cut and finish gemstones, using state-of-the-art lapidary equipment. This is a truly unique opportunity to study with the gem cutter who has revolutionized his field and elevated the lapidarist’s craft to an internationally recognized art form. Open to all levels.
