John will show us how to choose materials that work well together, special considerations in cutting and polishing combined materials, best practices for adding metal, and more. This versatile technique will help you maximize your studio resources too, since it's the perfect way to make use of broken cabs in your stash and stretch expensive material by using smaller amounts in combination with other rough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis workshop is open to \u003cstrong\u003eall levels from beginner to advanced\u003c\/strong\u003e! Beginners will learn everything they need to know to get started with this type of intarsia and will leave with at least one completed cabochon (and probably more). Students with prior lapidary experience may be able to complete more pieces or create more complex designs.
