Jewelry wire can be the show-stopping focus of a beautiful piece of jewelry, just as much as beads! In this one-time jewelry making class, students will learn the beginning skills of bending and shaping copper wire with professional style jewelry pliers to create their own stylish bracelet, opening a whole new world of jewelry crafting like never before. Students will learn how to create secure individual links for beads, how to create unique wire components using jewelry pliers, and how to connect it all together to create a one-a-kind piece of jewelry that no one else in the world has! Students are guided every step of the way as they gain experience in creating jewelry like a professional. 

Class time will focus on guiding students to create their first complete bracelet, and the class will discuss how the same skills are applied to making necklaces. At the end of this class, students will have the knowledge to make both bracelets and necklaces using wireworking techniques and incorporating their own sense of style. 

This class is designed to be an introduction to wireworking with a focus on how to make necklaces and bracelets. For students interested in learning the introductory skills specifically for making earrings, check out my offered class: "Wireworking Intro for Earring Making: Learn to Create Unique Designs With Wire".
