SUNDAY DECEMBER 28 PENDANT CLASS
[PLEASE READ ENTIRE DESCRIPTION]
Hello and thank you so much for being interested in my pendant making class! in this class, I will be guiding you through from start to finish on how I make one of my favorite designs in a wire wrapped pendant (the design we are making can be seen in the photos shown). From determining the length of the wire needed to create the piece, creating a base for the stone, framing our stone, creating a bail and accenting the front with swirls, I will highlight and address every step along the way, and explain the process behind all of my actions while creating :) I explain the two wire gauges necessary that are uncommonly used unless we are making a specific design (square and half round), the tools needed (not many are required for this as compared to earrings), and as always, tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way that I always share with you guys that may enhance your jewelry making skills!
Please be aware that this pendant DOES require square and half round wire, which are two wire gauges that are not as easy to come around in stores as round wire is, and will probably require you to order them online. Of course this piece can be created using round wire, it will just look different and you will not be able to twist the wire like I will be demonstrating in the class. This is going to be a space where you can feel free to ask me any questions you may have regarding wire gauges, address any confusing steps, or literally anything at all! I want this to be a personal learning experience for all of us to connect with our community of wanting to learn and share a common love for crafting :)
I am keeping the space limited to only 10 students to make sure that we have a personal environment for each person to ask questions and talk to each other and me freely! There are no refunds for this reserved spot as that would be unfair to someone who would have wanted to have your spot, and you must be able to join through Zoom as this is an online class!
We will be meeting from 1 PM to 2:30 PM Central/Chicago time, so *PLEASE* make sure that you are not only able to attend, but you accommodate for your *time zone difference* !! I have had one or two people in EVERY class miss the meeting or join an hour late or early because they incorrectly aligned their time, so please please double check to make sure you have it set accordingly! The class will be fully recorded and sent to you to keep for you to rewatch and play back at your own leisure once it’s over, typically either same day or next day as the video must be processed by my computer first.
Please note a few things:
1. When you purchase this item, you will receive an email from me with the supply list attached as well as the link for the video to meet on that date. This is NOT an automatically sent email, it is me manually sending one, so if you are waiting a little longer, trust that I received your payment and will be sending it ASAP. Please provide a working and correct email address and please CHECK SPAM! If you do not receive anything from me in a few days, please don’t hesitate to follow up and email me because often times my emails end up in junk mail!
2. There are no refunds. Unfortunately there would be no way for me to find a reason to give you your money back as this is not a physical returnable item. If you have issues opening the zoom video or if you have any questions I’d be happy to help, just email me and we can figure it out together.
3. I am not someone who has the complete understanding of wire wrapping. This field is huge, and it would be almost impossible to know everything! If you’re familiar with my work, you’ll be able to see what my expertise and knowledge encompasses, but there are many artists I admire and have no clue what gauges they are using! Before purchasing, I recommend you check out my work and see if it is a style that resonates with you, and then determine if what I teach you here is what you’d like to learn for your own purposes.
If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to email me with any additional information you’d like about the class :)
