— Wire
Jewelry Classes —
It's
a privilege for me
to share the art of jewelry making with other
like-minded enthusiasts. Whether teaching wire jewelry classes or doing
private
lessons in my home, it gives me great joy to witness the ear-to-ear
grin on someone's face when they've created their first piece of wire
art jewelry.
To
witness the evolution of someone's jewelry making skills reminds me
of my own growth in this artistic medium. When looking back at photos
of my own early wire jewelry creations, I can easily see the
progression to where I am today. I like thinking "outside the box" and
enjoy helping others learn to rely on their own imagination and
creativity and, ultimately, seeing their jewelry begin to reflect their
own unique styles.
Have
you ever taken a jewelry making class and you
can't wait to get home to put your newly learned skills to work?
Then....as you stare at that mess of wire and beads, you don't have the
foggiest idea what to do with it! Well...to help you survive
"information
overload" every student in my classes takes home clearly written
step-by-step instructions with photos of the projects that we did in
class. This
helps to jog your memory and enables you to confidently
recreate the project at a later date. Many of my class
participants tell me this is an invaluable and much appreciated tool!
I
currently teach several wire
jewelry
classes
at the Dunedin Fine Art Center in the Tampa Bay area of Florida. To see
what some of my students have created take a look at my student
gallery. Then check out the class descriptions below. I'd
love to seeing you at
