Welcome to Nomad's weekend basics class! This is an introduction to simple jewelry construction and is a great entry point for new beaders.
This week we will be doing WIREWORK, learning about the tools and techniques used to manipulate wire for jewelry making.
Students start with simple wire wrap technique, working with copper wire, round-nosed and chain-nose pliers to create wired links. This basic link is the foundation for dozens of beading projects, particularly earrings.
Please note that while we'll be making sample pieces throughout, students will not be making any finished jewelry - this is purely a techniques class. Loaner tools and practice materials are provided.
Depending on how quickly the group progresses, we may be able to discuss more advanced techniques. If you've got questions, please ask away!
