In this course students will learn how to make a simple wire wrapped ring out of a bead of their choosing. Student's are encouraged to get crystals rocks or chips with holes in them to make rings. In each class student's will share what rock/ or crystal they chose and a fun fact about it such as where they got it or a scientific fact about it. I will also share what crystals I am working with an an interesting fact about them. I am a patient encouraging and relaxed style of teaching. I always make sure everyone is attended to. Student's will have some interaction sharing their art work and discussing related topics. No required experience is necessary but some patience is required.

Supply List
1. 22 gauge and 24 gauge wire. Ideally I like to work with 22 gauge but some learners find the thinner 24 gauge wire to work with at first. You can get this wire in craft stores in the jewelry section or in the link below: 22 guage wire: https://www.amazon.com/Jewelry-Tarnish-Resistant-Supplies-Crafting/dp/B08B7WWT7H/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=2MR3NBI5EZ6S&keywords=22+gauge+wire+for+jewelry+making&qid=1641675610&sprefix=22+gauge+wire+for+jewelry+making%2Caps%2C326&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOFNUVVhSNjMwV08xJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTExMDQ5MUZSTU1YQTM4OTRVRSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNzEyOTE5MUhZSjE0QlA4REFZWCZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= 24 gauge wire: https://www.amazon.com/Beadalon-Artistic-24-Gauge-Copper-20-Yards/dp/B004CYFHQM/ref=sr_1_11?crid=3A7CDJCCK2HC4&keywords=24+gauge+wire&qid=1641675872&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=24+gauge+wire+%2Carts-crafts%2C230&sr=1-11 2. Stone/ Crystal/ or bead with a hole in it. 'Crystal Chips with holes' work well with rings. You can use any bead that is about 1-2 cm. The link below has some of the beads/ crystals I used in the photo but you can use any kind of bead that a 22 gauge wire could fit through. Crystal Chips with hole: https://www.amazon.com/Gemstone-Colorful-Irregular-Bracelet-Decorations/dp/B08L3TNMTJ/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1RDFA8UCAYINN&keywords=crystal+chips+with+hole&qid=1641676042&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=crystal+chips+with+hole%2Carts-crafts%2C125&sr=1-4 Turtle bead (in photo) https://www.michaels.com/bead-gallery-turquoise-dyed-reconstituted-stone-turtle-beads-18mm/10290833.html?r=g&cm_mmc=PLASearch-_-google-_-MICH_Shopping_US_N_Beads+%26+Jewelry_N_Smart_BOPIS_N-_-&Kenshoo_ida=&kpid=go_cmp-9982372294_adg-106296471768_ad-433378147584_pla-1340957257905_dev-c_ext-_prd-10290833&gclid=Cj0KCQiAieWOBhCYARIsANcOw0w54Fs9-IkykF8U_8ayChXGYFTQ-QCcisCpxArG4op6xaKtnizsxjAaAoX1EALw_wcB 3. Wire cutters, long noose pliers, and sand paper (nail file works). If you do not have wire cutters 'adult scissors' should work. The sand paper/ nail file is to smooth out the "pookies." Wire cutters, pliers: https://www.amazon.com/Jewelry-Pliers-Shynek-Wrapping-Supplies/dp/B07ZGFK411/ref=sr_1_2?crid=32E9KSD93TMXK&keywords=wire+cutters+pliers+jewelry&qid=1641676269&s=arts-crafts&sprefix=wire+cutters+pliers+jewlery%2Carts-crafts%2C121&sr=1-2 4. Ring sizer, this is optional. Student's can use their own finger or something with a similar circumference like a narrow drum stick or marker. Here is a link below for a ring sizer: https://www.amazon.com/Mandrel-Standard-Measure-Jeweler-Jewelers/dp/B08CCVBFR5/ref=asc_df_B08CCVBFR5/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=459521893186&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3725108898757390666&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031269&hvtargid=pla-997055381647&psc=1

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello friends! Thank you so much for checking out my page on here. I am an experienced music and art teacher with a degree in Psychology. I have taught music and art to children for over ten years. I am very grateful to have the privilege of teaching on this platform. I am a mother of a 9 year old son and a practicing musician and artist. I obtained my BA in Psychology and took several courses on children psychology courses, as well as art and music therapy. In addition, I have obtained my TESOL online teaching certificate to teach English as a second language. I have found that children can find great expression, relaxation and self awareness through music and art. I strive to create mindful therapeutic classes through art and music. I hope to see you in the classroom.Reviews
