Discover the world of wire wrapping, where copper, silver, and gold come to life in stunning designs crafted by your own hands. Embark on a journey through time and creativity with our Wire Wrapping class, an exploration of one of the most ancient and captivating forms of jewelry dating back over 6,000 years in Iraq and Egypt.
Whether you're a beginner or seasoned enthusiast, you'll find the process surprisingly accessible. With just wire, gemstones, and a few pairs of pliers, you can unlock the secrets of this age-old art form. Join us for an intuitive, meditative, and creative experience that allows you to tap into your artistic potential.
Throughout the session, we'll guide you in creating a medium-sized pendant or amulet, infusing it with your unique style and flair. Our exploration will cover a spectrum of topics, from understanding gemstone hardness using the Mohs Scale to selecting the right wire sizes and delving into both creative ancient designs and cutting-edge styles. Unleash your imagination and join us for a truly inspiring and hands-on journey into the world of Wire Wrapping.
