▪ Funky Wire Necklace ▪
Express yourself! Fun, vibrant and colorful or natural earth tones or a pastel palette. Starting with your favorite beads, you decide the theme and then build a funky necklace using a variety of wireworking techniques in this 6 hour workshop. You'll twist, coil and manipulate copper wire, adding your beads to create a one-of-a-kind piece of wire art jewelry that truly expresses your individuality. If you prefer, you may use Sterling silver wire to use in your design.
Recommended tools to bring to the workshop:
- Round nose pliers
- Flat nose pliers
- Chain nose pliers
- Flush or semi-flush cutters that will cut up to 12 gauge wire
- Ball peen or chasing hammer
- Mandrels of different sizes (knitting needles and round writing pens work well for this)
- Needle files
- 6 inch ruler
- Soft tape measure
- Steel bench block
- Sharpie® or other indelible pen
- Hand towel
- Polishing cloth
- #000 Fine steel wool
Some tools will be available to borrow; however, I highly recommend bringing your own tools if you have them. I typically have quality tools available for purchase.
A separate materials fee will include the necessary supplies to complete all class projects. A variety of supplies will also be available for purchase. And, of course, you may bring your own. You'll also take home a complete written tutorial.
Basic wire working skills recommended but all skill levels are welcome.
"Great class...Thanks, Stacy. I'll be back for more!"
