Wire Wrapping Beads, Cabochons, and Found Objects A jewelry class for those who want to learn to work with various types of wire and gauges. We will discuss the types of wire, tools, and make several simple pendants using wire wrapping techniques. You will also learn how to use these skills to make bracelets, earrings and how to attach found objects to your jewelry pieces. Making Fused Glass Jewelry & Solder Pendants Lampwork Beads and Filigree Wire Pendants & Earrings Lampworking is an art form where the artist melts glass rods in a torch to form a bead. Beads can be shaped and decorated with various colors of glass and metals to form unique one-of-a-kind pieces. This beginning class covers the following: * Safety, tools/equipment, and set-up During this class, we will use silver craft wire to make a simple filigree wire pendant. Students will learn twisting, shaping and soldering sterling wire techniques originally developed in France and Italy in the 17th century.

This is an introductory workshop in glass fusing. We will first discuss the technical aspects of fusing including properties of glass, tools and equipment, kilns, firing schedules and safety. You will then learn to cut, grind, layer and fuse glass. During the class, you will design two pendants and one pair of earrings. Due to the length of time required for firing and cooling, we will do all of the glass work at the beginning of class, to be fired during class and ready by the end of the day. In this workshop, you will assemble an altered image charm, photo memory charm, or stained glass. This will include learning to foil, solder, and adding jump rings, and other decorations.
$140 per student, materials and tools provided, glass and firing costs included
