This class will explore the versatility of wire in making jewelry, including making hand-made chains, clasps, earring hooks and more. Students will learn to use simple hand tools to create basic wire and bead jewelry. Creative design concepts will also be covered. Students can expect to complete 2 - 4 simple pieces (earrings, rings, etc) or 1 - 2 more complex pieces (bracelet, wire wrapped bezel pendant, necklaces, etc). Copper wire is included in the class price, and silver wire is available for purchase at the Craft Center.
Students should bring ideas, photos or sketches to the first class. Beads and cabochons will be available for purchase; however, students are also welcome to bring any items they wish to incorporate into their designs. (Two classes; does NOT include class pass.)
