2012
After a one-year break in the program, Alain Lovenberg and Alexandre Sidorov both returned to teach the Grand Masters Program®. Alexandre Sidorov shared his innovative techniques for multiple stone pavé and unique single-stone settings. Because many of his techniques depend on special tools, he taught students how to make them and where to get them. In addition, students were given the opportunity to choose a part of the curriculum. Alain Lovenberg guided students through a project with full gold inlaid background and low-relief engraving. Students learned how to make tools, create cuts, prepare metal, and execute these highly specialized methods. He showed step-by-step how to use the Belgian technique of relevoir to prepare the dovetail with a chasing tool.
