Wire-Weaving Techniques: Mastering Fine-Gauged Wire Weave with Sarah Thompson

Sometimes, a simple linear wire is not enough for the jewelry design you have in mind, but metal sheet might be too much. Enter wire-weaving techniques. Using wire-weaving techniques, you can essentially turn wires into wire “sheet” in any shape that you want—with the added bonus of interesting textures with no soldering required.

Speaking of interesting, wire weaving can incorporate wires in a variety of gauges, all in one design, put together with artistic techniques similar to those used in basket weaving. Folks who already work with wire know how rewarding and fun it can be! And if you’re a tactile person who enjoys working with materials in your bare hands—or if you do weaving or needle arts like knitting or crochet—I bet you’d enjoy this similar craft you can do with wire.

Join us on Wednesday, February 11, 2015, at 1pm ET for Wire-Weaving Techniques: Mastering Fine-Gauged Wire Weave, a live web seminar on wire weaving with wire jewelry artist Sarah Thompson.
