Emphasis will be based on creating pieces that reflect your individuality and personal tastes. No soldering is required and you will have the opportunity to incorporate beads, stones, and found objects to make your own unique designs. Basic hand tools and the use of some interesting tricks will enable you to continue upon completion of the course. Personal style and creativity will be encouraged in a relaxed atmosphere.
Note: There will be an $85 material fee payable to the instructor. The kit includes copper wire – if you would prefer to use sterling silver, please contact the instructor at least 3 weeks prior to the start date for separate pricing.

Dianne, this was a wonderful class, even for a spatially challenged lefty with the manual dexterity of a manatee! I appreciated your encouragement and patience greatly. Looking forward to taking another course with you. Most sincerely, Janet
