WIRE II
INSTRUCTOR: DIANE MASON
This is a beginning WIRE II class devoted to the actively wrapping WIRE I student and the WIRE II student who has completed a class and feels his/her performance did not meet the standards set for that class. Many students are hesitant about the transition between WIRE I and WIRE II. This class gives students the necessary confidence to take another step up. Please read the prerequisites carefully before registering. This is a fun class with extreme learning potential. Intensive skill set use with emphasis on detail and more intricate projects will be covered. The use of only square dead soft wire with the use of half hard wrap wire will be taught. Prongs are not taught but students will still be challenged. This is not a difficult class but a "scratch your head and think very hard" type of program. Projects will include a faceted pendant, the use of rockers, advanced cabochon wraps, a loose doublet, and a special cabochon bracelet. Because of the details to be obtained students can expect to complete no more than 10 projects. Correspondence will be made 4-6 weeks prior to the start of class with a necessary supply list. Work may be done in silver, gold filled, or silver filled wire but NOT in craft or copper wire. Students are expected to bring their own tools. Instructor's tools may be used if notice is received ahead of time. All stones and cabochons will be provided by the instructor and a price list will accompany contact information. This ensures that everyone is working on the same size stone at the same time. It is essential that students meet the prerequisites for this class. Time and consideration of fellow students will not allow any backtracking into teaching the basics. Please read the prerequisites prior to registration.
