No experience required! Even though this looks extra fancy, this is a basic class and a foundation
for many other types of wire wrapping. After this class you will be able to use any size cabochon
to create a pendant of any size or shape of pendant. You will be able to vary your designs by
adding or subtracting beads or crystals in a number of ways. I will provide many tips so you can
produce a beautiful sterling silver wrapped pendant. You will also learn about wire sculpture. A
black silk cord will be provided so you can proudly wear your creation home!
Learn about wire temper, wire gauges and wire shapes as well as all about the necessary tools.
You will learn how to measure, cut, clean and straighten your wire. You will also learn how to
bundle and wrap your wire as well as how to make a bail. You will be working dead soft wire.
The class fee includes sterling silver wire, a jeweler’s polishing cloth, a fleece work surface, a
custom made dichroic glass cabochon, a black silk cord and a copy of my 12 page instruction
book featuring complete instructions with color step by step photographs, all of which is yours to
take home. All you need to do is bring a smile
