Thomas Tietze will demonstrate tube setting techniques at our February 21 meeting. Thomas is an accomplished jeweler, designer and instructor, with more than 45 years of experience. After an apprenticeship and further training from the Revere Academy in San Francisco, he was instructed by the renowned Dieter Mueller-Stach at CSULB.

Thomas has recently started conducting small intensive workshops in his studio covering topics such as Wax Carving, Stone Setting, and Tips and Tricks. “ I feel there is an increasing need to mentor and teach the next generation of artisans and pass these increasingly rare skills on.”
