Wire wrapped jewellery taster class

Wire Wrap Taster Class, Leyland

Wire wrap taster class, Leyland

Description

Wire wrapped jewellery dates back to 1446 BC and has been found in ancient Egyptian pharaohs' tombs and pyramids. Gold was likely to be the first metal used, but we will be using plated wire. This is a beautiful, ancient way to add definition and flair to beads and sea glass. We will look at various techniques, in a range of styles and colours of beads and wire to make: - 1 necklace - pair of earrings - 1 key ring No prior knowledge is required and this workshop is suitable for all levels, but wire wrapping needs a good level of dexterity. Age 14+

"I attended this course with my mum & sister, I had bought the tickets as a present for my mum's birthday. The tutor was really lovely and knowledgeable, she was friendly and was quick to make us feel at ease. The course felt very relaxed and easy and we were able to design and make a design of our own which we got to take home after the session. I was really pleased with how my picture turned out and would definitely attend a session again. The only minor negative point is really minor, which is for the time I wish I could have made a second picture as I had finished my picture with an hour to go until the end of the session rather than adding bits to the first picture to fill the time.
