It is amazing to me still, that with just a handful of simpletools and a roll of wire, what fantastic jewelry can be made!!.This is a fun workshop where students will learn the important basics of wire wrapping, how to know what wire you need, best places to get supplies and the simple tools it takes. We will create a couple of bracelets first by using copper and then silver wire. We will also make a pair of earrings in which students will also learn how to create their own ear wires! You will have handouts and will be confident enough then tocreate more for gifts or yourself! After my 1st class like this, I was hooked and made 13 bracelets to use as gifts for family! Bring a sack lunch and enjoy a day of creativity! Safety measures will be followed.The classroom is large enough for each student to have their own table 6 feet apart!
