I've been very busy over the last couple of weeks with an increase in jewellery sales plus a very exciting project for Jewellery School online . I have been filming a tutorial that will be available to purchase and view online! The tutorial is for three metal clay stone setting projects, all of which can be torch fired. They include setting a fireable stone, setting dichroic glass and setting a bezel cup. The filming was done by a film crew and I had three cameras on me! Here is a photo of my view of the crew in action. The footage is being edited at the moment and will be available to purchase alongside other new tutorials for the website and I'll blog about it when they are finished and ready to buy. I'm filming another one next week so busy busy busy!

For more of Gary's photos of the cathedral check out his flickr album here
