Bill Boggs
Bill began attending William Holland School in 1993 and teaching classes in 1997. He is experienced in lapidary, wirecraft jewelry and metalsmithing but his first love has always been finding and grinding rocks. Intarsia is a way to show off multiple rocks and minerals by combining them into endless combinations of colors and patterns.
Intarsia – Bill Boggs
Intarsia is probably one of the world’s first examples of the “cut and paste” technique. We will be learning to cut small pieces of colorful or otherwise interesting rocks and actually gluing them together to form intricate scenic and/or geometric patterns. This is a basic class. We will be using flat laps and intarsia grinders but not faceting machines. Materials are provided but bring some of your own if you like. A $7.00 start-up kit will be provided. The costs for the week will depend upon how many slabs and of which type of material you purchase. Overall costs for the week should range from $20 to $40 and less if you have your own material. Prerequisite: Cabochons.Work Completed in These Classes
