About this Event
All materials are included in the cost of the class including the Cabochon but if you have a special one that you want to use then please feel free to bring it with you.
The Cabochon Tree of Life Pendant Workshop will enable you to set your beautiful Cabochons in a wire Tree setting and transform them into amazing pendants.
This technique is fantastic for cabochons and other flatter stones of all kinds. As well as how to set a stone, this workshop will also teach you how to form a beautiful tree using only wire and hand tools.
The techniques covered in this course form a great foundation for developing more advanced wire jewellery skills but also equip you with everything you need to make professional quality pendants from home.
A fun and versatile class not to be missed!
Learn the age-old technique of wire wrapping, a great way of showing off shaped stones. No soldering or gluing is involved and you will learn to twist and interlock wire to create stunning statement pieces.
Techniques covered in this class include:
- Learn about pliers, wire and basic tools used
- Making a bail to hang the pendant from
- How to professionally cut, shape and twist wire
- How to wrap wires securely together without ends that catch
- Create a wire wrapped stone pendent
- How to form a tree using multiple pieces of wire
- How to securely set a stone in your tree design
You will create a wire wrapped crystal pendant to treasure for years to come.
Although no previous experience is necessary, this is a Level 2 in the Tree of Life Pendant workshops and can be a little fiddly at times. Suitable for all.
Face-to-face workshops are great fun and informative. Being face-to-face, unlike video tutorials, means you can ask questions, get help when you are stuck, meet other likeminded people and enjoy the group workshop setting. I will be there to support you every step of the way and you will be able to see the process at different angles so you will be able to create your beautiful pendant with ease.
The size of the classes is kept small to allow plenty of one-on-one attention and the maximum number of students for this class is 9.
Please park in the carpark at Tollgate, Peterborough PE3 9XD, access through the gate into the workshop! Look for the Sign. (Car park is circled on the map)
