▪ Wire Collage Pendant ▪
Express yourself 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. For a pleasing contrast, you may also use Sterling silver wire 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
- 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.
Intermediate wire working skills recommended.
"What a fun class, Stacy! I can't wait for the next one!"
