Wire I - Jacolyn Campbell Discover the fascinating world of traditional, structured, wire wrapped jewelry. Using pliers, gold-filled or sterling silver wire, assorted beads and gemstones, and a few basic techniques, learn how to create your own fashion jewelry. Instruction will include an overview of tools and materials. Designed for beginners as well as those with previous experience, specific projects have been selected to allow participants to acquire or reinforce the basic skills needed to make simple rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings, then apply those skills to more complex designs. Skills will include selection, measurement, cutting twisting, assembling, binding, and shaping of wire, use of gemstones and beads, and decorative finishing of pieces. Students with previous experience may bring tools and materials. However, the instructor will provide all tools needed, and materials may be purchased in class. Tools and additional materials may be purchased from the instructor, if desired. Students should complete ten to twelve projects. Lab fee covers all printed materials, use of instructor’s tools, and some miscellaneous materials used in class. Cost of materials will vary depending on projects/materials chosen and the market price of precious metals.
