BEGINNING AND INTERMEDIATE WIREWORKING FOR JEWELLERY MAKING
This one day beginner’s class covers learning to use wire working tools, understanding different gauges of wire and why they’re used, studying different findings available on the market and how to make them work in jewellery making, relative to the size and weight of different beads. Students will learn to make simple earrings and bar pins, and to combine beads with chain to make professional level jewellery. The class is extremely interactive and Kate willingly shares her suppliers and contacts with her pupils. The materials for this class are provided. The work will be classical and simple. I have learned that pieces made this way are the most wearable and, if you wish, easy to sell.
You will be able to use the same techniques to design jewellery with your own lamp work beads.
Cost £100.00 including VAT
