Wrap It Up!
6:00 - 9:00
(Armando Blanco)
In this wire wrapping course, we will be going over all the techniques that will get you started on your path towards wire art. Not only will we cover the basics, but we will go over bale decorations, how to turn your cabochon into a ring, how to coil, and how to weave. I will be an open book. My goal is that by the end of this course, you will be able to develop your own style of wire wrapping.
Students need to purchase their own set of nylon pliers which are essential for homework. Details for ordering, as well as the weekly lesson plan, will be emailed to registered students.
