Wire Weaving for Jewelry
Lifelong Learning

Learn how to set a gorgeous cabochon gem stone into a one-of-a-kind pendant using wire weaving. Unlike traditional wire wrapping, wire weaving uses a thick base wire as a frame, allowing you to craft intricate, eye-catching patterns with finer wires. In this hands-on class, you'll learn what wire to choose, essential tools, various weaving techniques, stone framing, and making a bail--plus, tips for ensuring your piece is free of tool marks. You'll walk away with your stunning ready-to-wear pendant and the skills you need to continue creating unique jewelry masterpieces.
