Expand your jewelry horizons and get wired! An introduction to knitting and crocheting with wire, this class will cover resources, materials and design ideas for successful wire jewelry, getting students started on a various techniques using beautifully colored art wire.

Beginning with bracelets, the class will cover knit structure using needles, crochet hooks, as well as introduce slip stitch and knitting in the round, plying in beads and found objects and adding findings to the work.
