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.
In this full day metalworking class, learn the fundamentals of metalworking: sawing, filing, drilling, riveting, and stamping. Then design your pendant and put your newfound or refreshed skills to work. This class serves as a prerequisite for many classes in our metalworking series. No soldering involved in this project.
Participants will make a pendant using Toho seed beads, montee crystals, Ultrasuede, and a stone or glass cabochon. Bezeling the cabochon and how to do running stitch will be the core of this class. Your piece will be beautifully finished on the backside.
Participants will learn to weave three stands of copper wire together, bending them into shape and anchoring the ends. A simple bail will also be created bending wire. Variations to this pendant and ways to approach different shapes will be discussed.
This class serves as a pre-requisite for the Wire Woven Bracelet on June 2. Take both classes for double rewards points.
