WIRE II: BRACELETS
INSTRUCTOR: JACOLYN CAMPBELL
This class will focus solely on bracelets using sterling silver and 14k gold-filled pattern, half round, square, and twisted square wire. Some projects may incorporate beads or cabochons as well. We will use 18, 20, 21, and 22GA square wire, both half-hard and dead-soft; 12, 14, 16, 18, and 20GA half-round, half hard wire; and 14 and 16GA round, dead-soft wire. We will use more 20GA square, dead-soft and half-hard wire and 16GA round wire than anything else and lots of 18GA half-round half-hard for wrapping. The amount of wire needed will vary by the number of and types of bracelets made. Most students will make 10 – 15 bracelets. Students may bring their own tools and materials. However, the instructor will provide all tools needed, and materials may be purchased in class. Additional tools may be purchased, if desired. An Optivisor other style of magnifier is highly recommended. Cost of materials will vary depending on projects/materials chosen and the market price of precious metals.
