Lafayette, La.--After an overwhelmingly positive response to its spring Bench Jewelers Workshop, Stuller announced Wednesday that it would host a second event this month.
Scheduled for Sept. 26 to 28, the event will feature a variety of Stuller experts and industry professionals, including Kate Wolf of Wolf Tools, Blaine Lewis of the New Approach School for Jewelers, Kelly Williams of K.W. Goldsmith, and Jim Tuttle of Green Lake Jewelry Works.
The workshops also will include a number of live bench demonstrations and education sessions.
Participants will have the chance to win at the event, with attendees automatically registered to win one of two prizes--a $1,000 Stuller account credit toward new purchases or a Meiji EMZ-5 microscope and stand valued at $2,095.
“We’re very excited about the increase in attendance this year,” said Stuller Vice President of Tools and Supplies Darrell Warren. “This fall event will give jewelers a great opportunity to sharpen their skills before the holidays.”
Professional jewelers can register for the workshop for $175, and Stuller is offering a multiple attendee discount, where additional attendees from the same store will each receive $25 off the regular registration price.
