Students should wear good glasses for close up work, if needed, and may opt to bring magnifying glasses, and/or eye protection, such as goggles if they desire. While unlikely, uncontrolled wire can shoot in unexpected directions when snipped, and could cause an eye injury.
All necessary tools will be available for the students’ use during class. Safety instructions will be given prior to any use of tools.
Stones, wires and pendant cords will be given to the students for creating and keeping their finished pieces!
