Wire Wrap Pendant – Jewelry Class
In this hands-on class, learn to create beautiful wire wrap jewelry from a master wire sculpture artist!
Using semi-precious gemstones, fine copper or silver wire, and over two decades of experience, Russell Lawson guides each student to gain a working knowledge of essential wire wrapping techniques. You will become familiar with the tools of the trade and add an exponentially utilitarian skill set to your artistic repertoire.
In this 2-hour session, students will create one complete wire-wrapped pendant with semi-precious gemstone wrapped in fine copper or silver wire.
Fee for the instruction, supplies, knowledge, and complete pendant is only $75.
All materials you need will be provided.
You will have the option to add-on a “to-go” kit for supplies to make an additional pendant at home, using your new skills (+$25, at checkout).
