Wire Jewelry for Beginners
25
If you're like me, you love the feeling of creating something with your hands. As a web developer and teacher, I was finding that I didn't spend as much time as I would have liked creating tangible products. I love the creative outlet that making jewelry has provided me with and would like to help others get started making their own! Whether you're interested in picking up a new hobby or starting a creative business, I'd be happy to show you the ropes of wire jewelry making!
Sessions will be 30 to 45 minutes in length (conducted via Skype or phone) and cover the following:
- explanation of basic tools
- beginner techniques
- benefits and challenges of working with various metals
- recommendations for sourcing materials
- advice on pricing
- wire jewelry artists to follow
- resources for more in-depth training
Training & Qualifications
I've been creating jewelry made from wire, beads, and laser cut wood for a while now. I dug through tons and tons of videos and blog posts to get up to speed on the basic tools and skills. I sell my pieces in a couple of stores and to friends on the side.
