Classes
ONSITE: Beaded Wire Jewelry (Ages 9-11)
Let's create with beads and wire! We will learn How to identify and measure wire, and how to shape and harden our designs. We will wire wrap a bead, securely add components and findings, and secure our connections. Bringing our own ideas and newly learned skills together we will make several pieces of jewelry that will have us practicing the techniques we have learned in class.
