Class Description

Description

Basic Earring Design is a great way to start working with wire. Learn how to make simple loops, wrapped loops, and dangles -- techniques that can be used in a wide variety of jewelry designs. You'll also get written instructions with diagrams to take home so you'll always have refresher information handy.

Students will learn: 
  • The elements of earring design
  • Differences in basemetal vs. precious metal headpins and eyepins
  • How to select the right length and gauge pin for your project 
  • How to use chain nose and round nose pliers to make consistently round loops
  • How to make a simple round loop using basemetal headpins
  • How to make a more secure wrapped loop using sterling headpins and how to tuck in the ends of the wire for a clean finish.
By the end of class students will have completed: 3 pair of earrings

Note: Fee includes written instructions and all materials for 1 pair of earrings with basemetal wires and 2 pair of earrings with sterling wires, and use of tools during class.
