Fee: Class: $65 / Kit: $15

Have you collected rocks or gemstones and wanted to make jewelry from them? Well, this workshop is for you. I will show you how to wire-wrap your stones to make beautiful pendants to wear. We will discuss the different wire that can be used, the do's and don?ts for successful wire-wrapping, and what tools to use and not to use. Join me in a fun and relaxing afternoon. Bring a few of your favorite rocks and you can wrap them into pendants. This is a beginners workshop.
Please bring 1 pair of round nose pliers,
1 pair of flush cut wire cutters
1 pair of flat nose pliers
1 pencil and paper for notes
You may bring a couple of your own stones approx. 1.5? in length to wrap or I will supply one stone for you in the kit.
Also bring protective eye wear to protect your eyes from unruly wire ends.
I will have extra tools on hand to use
Bring a necklace to wear your pendant home.
