What People Say About New Approach

For years I've said the three most important tools for stone setting were a microscope, micromotor and a GRS tool. I was wrong. The most important tool is the Advanced Stone Setting class at New Approach School. Blaine's teaching skills and tips are top notch. I can't recommend a trip to New Approach School enough.

This class was amazing! 1feel that I have really expanded my skill set and the learning environment was incredible. For the amount of skills I gained this class is an incredible value and I will definitely be attending more classes in the future.

Incredible! I came right off the street and took the one-week stone setting class. I was amazed at the fact that five days later I had set so many rings! I decided to take the 12-week Graduate Bench Jeweler program. Two weeks before the end of class, an upscale jewelry store was eager to hire me to work alone in their store! Blaine Lewis is truly a gifted teacher, who is more than generous to share mountains of knowledge, techniques, tricks and laughs. This course was just outstanding, and I highly recommend both experienced and inexperienced people to learn this craft at this school.

Words can't express how grateful I am to have taken the gem setting course. I was intimidated to take this course, but within a few hours of listening to you felt at ease. My confidence has increased, not only in gem setting, but also in my abilities in creating jewelry. You truly have a wonderful gift in teaching. You have such patience and the encouragement you give your students is key. I have never been in a classroom where I have had this kind of encouragement. I will be back in the future to learn more.
