All 3 Wired Workshop Classes - $100 Off Regular Price

Description

By signing up for the entire weekend of our Wired Workshop, you'll be able to go through each of our Wired Workshops and learn all of the formulas, techniques, methods and patterns that you need to be successful as a beginner, intermediate and advanced wire jewelry artist. Here are the projects you'll create and the techniques you'll learn throughout the entire weekend:

In the Beginner’s Class you’ll have the opportunity to create two jewelry projects. The first one is called Quick Elegant Earrings. In this unique pattern for pearl earrings, you’ll learn how to create these earrings in as little as 20 minutes. These earrings typically sell for $25-$45. $45 for 20 minutes worth of work is great by anybody’s standard!

The second project you’ll create is a Festooned Cabochon Pendant. This will be a very fun project where you’ll learn formulas and techniques that can later be utilized within any frame project. You’ll add a touch of romance and motion by learning to attach chains without the use of jump rings.
