WIRE II: BRACELETS
INSTRUCTORS: VICKIE HODGES & DIANE MASON
Extend your wire wrapping and weaving experience by taking a great class focused entirely on bracelets with not one, but two instructors! This Wire II class is devoted entirely to the actively wrapping Wire I students who wish to advance and the Wire II students who have completed a class and would like to focus on making bracelets. Because of the prerequisites this is not a Wire I (+) class. This will be a fun class with extreme learning potential with emphasis on detail by using only dead soft wire in square with half hard half round wire for the wraps. Some Round wire will be used for some weaving as well. Students can expect to complete at least 10 projects which include simple bracelets to the more intricate ones. Students will be contacted 4-6 weeks prior to the start of class with a supply list to obtain their own wire. Students are expected to bring their own tools, but the instructor's tools are available for use if needed. ALL stones, cabochons and beads will be provided by the instructor and a price list will accompany the welcome packet ensuring everyone is working on the same size and shape at the same time even though they may vary in gem and mineral content. It is essential that you meet the prerequisites for this class. There will not be time to teach the basics. You are encouraged to contact the instructor PRIOR to registration to discuss if your skill set / prerequisites meet the requirements. The class fee includes syllabus, wrap tape, magic eraser, 14-18 handouts, use of instructor's tools, pen, paper, notebook.
