Expand your knit horizons and get wired! An introduction to small scale work, this workshop presents alternative approaches to successful knitting with wire.Learn new ways to create knit stitches while exploring tubular structures including how to encapsulate objects (like stones) within knitting.

With basic knit skills, this hands-on workshop will get students hooked on creating interesting jewelry and small sculptures with wire. Using a flexible copper wire in a beautiful range of colors, students will have the opportunity to design and execute unique pieces while we also cover resources, materials and further design ideas.
