Wire Wrapped Jewelry Tree with Valery Guignon

Beginner level! $45

Valery will show you how to master bending and wrapping different weights and colors of wire into trees, dancing persons or flowers - any of your visions! She will show you tricks of wire bending and drawing with wire. As it takes shape we'll wrap smaller wire in colors and then add another layer of wire with little tabs sticking out for your necklaces, bracelets and ear rings to hang from. Once you're happy with it your can hang it on the wall with small nails and loaded with your treasures.

The instructor, Valery Guignon, has taught this course and others all over the country. She is a graduate of Pratt in Industrial Design and has made her living creating art fibers (scarves, jackets, and more) and leading classes. Her dynamic energy will get you off and running on your own artistic journey!
