Wire-Wrapped Jewelry Workshop

Windham artist and teaching artist Lisa Caron Hickey, founder of Caron Designs, will guide participants through the basics of working with jewelry wire, beads, and hand tools. Designed especially for beginners, the workshop will introduce simple techniques that can be used to create earrings and other jewelry at home.
Participants will learn how to form their own ear wires, add beads to wire, create simple wrapped loops, and make dangling bead designs. A colorful assortment of stone, metal, and felted beads will be available, allowing everyone to experiment with different combinations and create jewelry that reflects their own style.
Each participant will create two pairs of earrings to take home, with plenty of opportunity to mix materials, colors, and techniques. No previous jewelry-making experience is needed, and all tools and materials are provided
