WIRE II
INSTRUCTOR: JACOLYN CAMPBELL
This class is designed to reinforce the traditional, structured skills learned in Wire I and apply them to more complex designs for rings, bracelets, pendants, and earrings. New skills will include use of half hard and dead soft gold-filled or sterling silver wire, design concepts for freeform and faceted stones, simple prongs, and decorative sculpting. 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 and materials may be purchased from the instructor, if desired. Students should complete ten to twelve projects. Class fee covers all printed materials, use of instructor’s tools, and some miscellaneous materials used in class. Cost of materials will vary depending on projects/materials chosen and the market price of precious metals.
Class Fee: $35
Est Materials Fee: $195+
Prerequisite: Two traditional, structured Wire I classes
