Class Description
Learn the age old technique of wire wrapping, a great way of showing off shaped stones. No soldering or gluing is involved and you will learn to twist and interlock wire to create stunning statement pieces.
Through this intensive class you will learn how to use a range of different shaped wires to create settings for stones and beads and how to create structural pieces using wire.
During the class, an experienced tutor will guide you through the process of working with the wire, creating twists, curls and coils. Once you have covered the basic techniques, you will work through 2-3 projects throughout the day to develop your skills and should leave with 2-3 finished pieces of jewellery. Throughout the day you will will have the chance to make a ring, pendant and pair of earrings using copper and silver plated or german wire.
The class is suitable for beginners but is also great for anyone who has done some beading or wire work before.
