See "Memberships and Passes" for more info. In this beginner-friendly class, we will be focusing on a 3 core wire cabochon setting with a bail created with two wires. You will learn how to secure the wires together to create a frame and how to add your own flair to the piece in your finishing work. You will gain experience in securing a large stone using wire to create a beautiful necklace. Your instructor, Maryann Weed, will be supplying enough wire and cabochons for each student to complete 2 projects; one in class, and one at home, to apply their newfound skills to an independent project! All supplies will be provided, but if you have a cabochon that you would like to use, you may bring it; even if you bring a cabochon from home, you will still have the opportunity to pick out 2 cabochons from your instructor’s collection! Optional items to bring: - If you have a cabochon that you would like to use, you may bring it (You will still get to pick out 2 cabochons from the instructor's collection) - Water in a spill-proof container - Layered clothing Maryann Weed has been wire wrapping for over 12 years and loves sharing her skills with others while watching her students create beautiful pieces.
