Clasps & Catches with Felix Stüssi   
April 21-25 $899 + kit
Bench jewelers need to understand the mechanics of fasteners. Guided by a Swiss master goldsmith, students learn eight closures in just five days! Starting with a basic ring catch, the class proceeds through a series of graduated closures including a slide clasp, a tab bracelet, an egg clasp, a ball-and-slot clasp, a bayonet clasp and more. The instructor will demonstrate important individual steps at the bench himself. Prerequisite: Fabrication 3 or experience. Felix will also teach Action Jewelry, April 26-27
Felix Stüssi began his jewelry career with a traditional Swiss apprenticeship in goldsmithing, followed by further studies in Germany and Canada. Felix has exhibited and lectured in Spain, France, Lesotho and Italy.
