Wireworking: Silver Earrings
Adult Intensive | Available
In this workshop, you'll learn how to use thin gauge wire to make jewelry. While the course will focus on earrings as a vehicle for developing wire skills, the techniques can be applied to a variety of jewelry forms. Youll start using copper and brass wire, then proceed to using silver wire for your final projects. No previous experience is required, but students with experience may find this workshop will open new avenues of exploration for working with wire.
