Intarsia is the art of creating stone to stone inlay; a technique in which the artist fits stones directly against each other, requiring great precision of cutting and design.

In this three day class we will explore the ways to cut and reassemble stones in interesting patterns to create a cabochon that can be used in jewelry design. We will explore unusual approaches to curved and inlay techniques. Each student is required to have a basic Lapidary I understanding of how to cut and polish a stone to create a cabochon. Each student can expect to complete at least one cabochon.

Prerequisites:

• Level I Lapidary skills

• Knowledge of the use of lapidary equipment
