In this class we will explore basic jewelry techniques that will include: opening and closing jump rings, using eye pins, basic wire bending, filing, measuring for proper fit, wire wrapping, and understanding different types of wire and findings, sawing and cold connections with rivets; focusing on foundational skills to create simple pieces using beads, wire, metal, and basic tools like pliers and cutters. All pieces will be worked on with copper wire/metal. No previous skills or knowledge required

The class will have weekly individual projects. All projects will be done in copper or a base metal. There will be 2 projects that will require the students to mix several techniques that have been taught throughout the year. One will be in the fall and one will be the final project which will include a gemstone. The final project has the option of purchasing an upgraded kit, to sterling silver verse copper. The final project kit MUST be paid by February’s tuition due date, so supplies can be ordered and kits made.

All students will learn the same basic skills, and some will be able to expand their skills to the next level.

Homework: - none required – though most have chosen to work on their projects at home
