You will learn about the different types of wire used in jewelry making, how to select the best wire for your project, and two approaches to attaching beads so they dangle from your piece - the simple loop and briolette wrap. This is a hands-on class where you will manipulate sterling silver wire to create 2 pair of earrings. The same technique can be used to attach beads or charms so they dangle from chain, bracelets or necklaces - it's probably the most versatile and most frequently used jewelry making technique.
