One of the most rewarding aspects of making your own jewelry is seeing the hand of the artist in your work. Learn techniques to take your handmade jewelry to a new level with nothing more than jewelry pliers and a humble spool of copper wire. In this workshop, learn how to make unique wireworked links and clasps and then how to chain them together into one seamless necklace. For an added burst of vivid color, we’ll be adding cold enameling to our wirework that’s beautiful and permanent.

One spool of 16 gauge dead soft copper wire
