— Get Wired! —

In Basic Wire Jewelry Techniques I & II, you learned the fundamentals and have a good grasp of the basic wire skills. You've got a solid foundation...so now what?






Less structured than the Basic Wire classes, this ongoing forum is for the intermediate to advanced student. While learning and developing new jewelry making skills and discussing your own fresh ideas, this class focuses on design and encourages individual creative growth.

Part of the class time is devoted to learning new skills and cold metal jewelry techniques, while the rest is spent discussing your own design ideas and helping to bring them to fruition.







Challenging projects, metal etching, different patinas and developing your own unique style makes this class an invaluable tool for the aspiring wire jewelry artisan and an enjoyable environment for wire jewelry enthusiasts.
