BASIC WIRE WRAPPING
BASIC WIRE WRAPPING
INSTRUCTOR: SAMANTHA ABBOTT
In this course you will learn the fundamentals of wire wrapping through the process of making a pendant. The first session will be spent learning about the tools used, differences in wire types, discussing design elements, designing your pendant, and practicing wire wrapping techniques with copper wire. The second session we will implement your design and apply the techniques we practiced the week prior to create a wire wrapped pendant with sterling silver wire.
MATERIALS
Please bring $35 to your instructor to the first class to cover the cost of consumable materials. All tools will be provided as part of the class; if you already have your own tools you are welcome to bring them- make sure they are marked! Cabachons (smooth polished stones) will be provided by the instructor. If you have a stone that you would like to use for your pendant please bring it to the first class session to determine suitability for a beginner class and to determine if a materials fee adjustment is needed.
