Mother Nature creates each leaf to be unique and beautiful. You will do the same when you learn to make freeform and organic wire shapes using nothing more than your fingers and pliers. Add strength and beauty to these wire forms with the addition of delicate tissue paper and ICE Resin, a jeweler’s grade resin. While these lovely leaves look delicate, rest assured they are strong, pliable and wearable. Practice your metalworking skills by creating a textured copper focal and wireworked spirals. Turquoise beads, a bit of chain and wireworked clasp makes for a unique Taos-inspired necklace that will cause people to stop in their tracks every time you wear it. You’ll be surprised how many essential jewelry techniques you’ll learn in a short six hours.
