Wrap Your Rocks - Part 2
Sun. 7/13 10:00 - 1:00
(Armando Blanco)
As we continue our voyage into wire wrapping, we will focus on creating a more decorative bale and also introduce the aspect of wire weaving. Now that we have experience with handling wire, we will get a little more technical with it by weaving a simple pattern as opposed to using half round wire. This is a lead up to doing more wire weaving which once you understand, you'll be on your way to making more intricate wire wraps!

Have you ever wanted to take one of your own stones and turn it into a pendant? Have you ever seen those crazy wire wrapped pendants and wondered how they're made? I have been wire-wrapping stones for 8 years now, and my workshop will show you how to get started. We will review the different types of wire, where to purchase it, and I will demonstrate the basics of creating an elegant wire wrapped pendant. You will leave this workshop with the sufficient knowledge to get your wire wrapping journey started. I will present my own tips and tricks, including how to price them for sale. It’s fun - and you will also be leaving with two copper pendants of your own.
