Beginners and Improvers
Welcome to my inaugural wire jewellery course. You will be exploring the ancient art form of wire wrapping. This course is aimed at beginners and improvers. You will receive an introduction into wrapping and weaving semi-precious stones, glass and resin beads in beautiful earrings, rings and pendants. You will also receive guidance into making your own findings (loops and pins), as well as the know-how in choosing the correct wire for each job.
What do you need to bring?
All tools and material will be provided and you can keep everything you create. The package will also include refreshments throughout the session. i.e. tea, coffee and biscuit treats.
Course Outcomes?
By the end of the 3.5 hrs workshop, you will have created a pair of earrings, a pendant, 2-3 types of rings and findings.

Classes will be small, no more than ten, so as to allow personal attention to each student.

About the Tutor
"My name is Shonel Jackson and I am a self taught jewellery designer/maker who has been running my own jewellery business for the last two and a half years. I've always been a very instinctive designer and I've found my own pathway to creating very unique pieces of wire wrapped jewellery. I am anxious to share what I have learnt and help to mold the next generation of wire craft jewellery designers.
As I have had the experience of actually creating jewellery as my full time job, I feel I am uniquely placed to not only help you to explore your own creativity, but also advise you in finding your way into the industry."
