This is not your typical wire wrapping or what most people think of when they hear the phrase. We will be creating wire wrapped fine jewelry, like the kind you see in galleries. With plenty of demonstrations and hands on learning, students will go from Beginners to Intermediate wire wrappers in three days! Students will create 10 pieces of jewelry that they will be proud to wear or give as gifts. Although no experience is necessary, those who have had some experience will work on more complex pieces. We will work with a variety of wires including copper, red brass and silver or a combination of them. Students will take home instructions for all jewelry made so they can continue to make jewelry on their own.

  • A $75 supply fee is due to the instructor on the first day of the workshop for all materials.
  • Masks are required to be worn by all students, regardless of vaccination status.
  • All supplies included with supply fee.

At the age of 50, I launched my life and career in a new direction as a full- time two denominational artist and instructor. I've enjoyed this challenge tremendously for the past 25 years and counting! There is nothing like witnessing the absolute joy on students’ faces when they see what they have created. I still teach a variety of painting techniques and paint portrait commissions; however, it has become more painful due to arthritis. I discovered making jewelry a few years ago using fine silver, sterling and copper metal clays. Taking wire wrapping workshops helped me learn new skills and refine my processes, enabling me to share this medium with students eager to craft their own unique pieces.
