WIRE WEAVING: ADVANCED CLASS

INSTRUCTOR: CISKA POSTMA

 

In this class we will learn the more difficult and different weaves and patterns. We will learn how to measure and determine sizes for these. With the weaves we go one step further in the wire weaving adventure by making more difficult jewelry. We will make a pendant and a bracelet.  If time allows, we may also make a ring and/or a set of earrings. In this class we use copper-, silverplate- and silver filled wire. The instructor will have wire, gemstones, gem beads and pliers available for purchase for future projects. 

 

Class fee includes printouts of different, more complicated wire patterns and techniques, the first four projects in copper and/or silverplated/silver filled wire and gemstones up to $20, use of instructor’s tools, a pen, paper, notebook, and a bag for scrap that you want to keep.  There will be added charges for gemstones from $20 and more projects. Please don't hesitate to bring your favorite tools, although the instructor will have tools for you to borrow.

Postma, Ciska
Ciska Postma

Hi, I would like to introduce myself. I'm Ciska Postma and I found my creative skills after my aneurysm/brain hemorrhage in 2010.

After trying many different creative arts, I discovered my passion for wire weaving in 2017. I first started with acrylic beads and in 2020 and gradually switched to gemstones. In the same year I started to teach wire weaving and wire wrap classes because people liked to learn it in the Netherlands. And I'm very happy that I still do.

My working method is distinguished by personalization, the models are often created during weaving. That's why I can say that the jewelry is made with heart and soul.

It is my privilege to share all this with you.

Hope to see you soon in my Class.

Warm regards Ciska
