Wire Wrapped Jewelry


A few weeks ago I took one of the Craftsy classes for called Wire Wrapped Stones, Crystals, and Clusters.   Below is a link to this class by Aga Kruk.

It was a great class, I totally loved it.  Above is a necklace and earrings that I made.  It was really easy and she did a great job explaining how to do the wire wrapping.  This is one class that I would really recommend taking.  I paid $39.99 for the class, which I didn't think was bad for probably 12 hours of lessons.  You can take them over time, pause, restart, and so on.


I also took the free Craftsy Mini Class called Free Micro Torch Basics Online Jewelry Making Class, and it was so interesting.  I can't wait to buy my first micro torch so that I can start soldering jewelry.  There is this stuff called solder paste now, which looks so much easier then regular solder.  It has been 35 years since I took a jewelry class, it is so great to know that I can do this at home.  I am pretty excited.

Craftsy is one of my sponsors, but I did pay for the Wire Wrapped Jewelry class.  The Micro Torch class is free and so much fun to watch.  I would totally recommend their classes, but if you are unsure, sign up for Craftsy (it's free) and try one of their free mini classes.  It's a win win for you, you have absolutely to loose on the free classes.  I had taken quite a few of the free mini classes before I finally paid for a class.  It was well worth it.  The next class I pay for is going to be the Metalsmithing At Home Class, but I have to buy a micro torch first.

I always love hearing from you.
