In this class we will experiment with making all sorts of beads out of wire which will then be made into a necklace. We'll wire wrap, coil, and do all unimaginable things with wire to create unique pieces. We will be working with 14-20 gauge copper wire which will be provided. If you wish to make beads out of silver wire I suggest you bring about 5-10 feet of each, or you may purchase some in class. Because so much wire is needed for this project, please CONTACT ME if you are going to want silver so that I will be sure to have enough on hand.
ABILITY LEVEL: Advanced Beginner Plus (this class requires that you have worked with wire previously & are familiar with it. If you are not sure, you might want to take the Basic Wire Skills Class which will give you a good foundation and allow you to build your skills.
