What can you do with wire?
Quite a bit with a just a minimal studio set up. This class will cover contemporary uses of wire for jewelry. We will go beyond wire wrapping and beaded jewelry, and learn to form, forge and solder wire. We will get inspiration from jewelers using only wire to create exciting and contemporary jewelry. We will cover making findings, and the basics you would need to set up a studio at home. This class is perfect for someone who has never worked with metal before, or for someone who has created beaded jewelry, but wants to go to the next step.
By just working with wire, we will avoid the frustrations that students often face in a beginning metal fabrication class, as well as the cost involved in buying silver sheet. Students will be provided with a few feet of 20g and 18g sterling silver, brass and copper wire. Additional materials can be purchased in the studio store.
