SUMMARY:Tree of Life Wire Wrapped Pendant (Jan 14\, 2024)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, January 14th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM \nCost:   Member Cost $50.00; Non-Member Cost $65.00\, plus cabochon\, if purchased \nWIRE WRAPPING – TREE OF LIFE PENDANT: Maggie will teach you to wire wrap a tree sculpture onto your cabochon (see photo of example).  You will learn many fabrication recommendations to create a beautiful tree on your cab.  It is recommended that your cab be relatively simple in texture and color so that the wire tree stands out from the stone background.  Several wire colors will be available to complement your pendant (silver\, brass\, or copper). The cab size should be approximately 1-3/8″ wide by 2″ high.  This is an intermediate wire-wrapping class.  It requires manipulating wire and fabricating a free-form tree shape that wraps around your cabochon.  The most challenging part of this project is neatly terminating each of the branch-wires at the back of the pendant\, as it requires some patience.  You will be proud of your creation and able to make more on your own.  Written instructions and resources will be provided to recreate these pendants at home. \nMisc.:  Students provide an oval cabochon for their Tree-of-Life Pendant; or\, they can purchase a cab in class.  Wire and tool usage is included in the class cost.  Students will leave with ability to complete the pendant\, if not completed in class.\nBring to class:  Cabochon and magnifiers\, if needed.  You may also bring a light for extra visibility.\n\nMaximum of 6-students. \nCabochon provided by student\, or may be purchased at the class. \n
