Use a combination of peyote stitch and herringbone with Delica 11/0 beads to create a small wing. Sew this wing together and embellish with a larger focal bead. Add an ear wire and you are ready for the weekend. Optional dutch treat snacks and drinks after class in a nearby downtown location.
This is a great introduction to wirework. Two skills are learned and practiced—making a closed wrapped loop and making this loop into another closed loop. This set of skills allows you go make secure earrings, pendants, and chains. You will make earrings from Czech pressed glass, stone, fresh water pearls, and Swarovski crystals.
NOTE: This class serves as the pre-requisite for many Beadology Iowa classes, including Wire Wrapping Stones 2.0 on Feb. 1.
Registration is $60 and includes all materials and instruction.
Take your soft glass skills to the next step. This workshop will focus on making hollow beads. If there is time, we may try to make a bead inside a bead.
Learn to use jewelry making tools and wire wrapping techniques to make earrings that dangle and sparkle. Use Swarovski crystals in birth stone colors to make lovely holiday gifts. After class, take these techniques and explore your own designs.
