In this workshop, you will be encouraged to imagine a world of new possibilities in stone. While large lapidary equipment can feel out of reach, together we’ll discuss creative interventions in stone using just a flex shaft and hand techniques. You will learn to drill, carve, modify, polish, and even repair stones. Alongside carving, we’ll also cover unusual settings and layering stones. Come prepared to experiment and focus on technique rather than finished projects, and by the end of the class you’ll have an exciting new skill set to weave into your own style. Using tools available at a typical bench, we’ll explore our creativity in color. Participants should be comfortable with a torch and have some basic bezel setting knowledge.
Workshops run from 9:00am to 5:00pm each day
Lunch is included for all participants

For Ope Omojola, Octave Jewelry was the natural outcome of a lifelong creative practice prioritizing materiality, color, and movement. A student of Anthropology, Ope first picked up a soldering torch at a weeknight class at the 92nd Street Y. Years of independent experimentation and exploration led to Octave’s signature style, creating jewelry that speaks to personal style, history, and sentimentality. Born in Nigeria, Ope lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.
