Jewellery from Wire & Beads
- Sara Withers

|
This
weekend provides an introduction to using wire and beads to make
jewellery. Over the 2 days students will be able to complete earrings,
necklaces and simple brooches, all based on the manipulation of
wire. |
|
The
Course (Two days)
The techniques taught can be achieved with the use of simple tools
and materials. They provide a framework for jewellery-making that
can be pursued in the home without the need for chemicals, burners
or other specialist equipment.
No prior experience of jewellery-making is necessary. It is useful,
however, to have some dexterity and good eyesight - or glasses!
