Description

Where: Taking Deeper Roots, 140 Edgemont Ave, Palmerton, PA 18071

Date: Saturday, September 13

Time: 9:30am – 12pm

Exact time to complete the project will vary with skill level.

Workshop will be held outside on the Garden Patio. Enjoy the fresh air from the shade and comfort of the patio. In case of inclement weather (severe rain or wind), the workshop will be moved indoors.

Includes instruction and all the materials and tools required to create one wire wrapped glass or stone cabochon pendant. There will be a variety of colored wire and cabochons to choose from. Some stones of a larger size or type and neck cords will be available for an additional fee.

Join Edward Eberhardt as he teaches the jewelry technique of wire wrapping. It’s quite amazing to see a few pieces of wire and a stone be transformed  into a unique work of art.  He will teach us how to join and bend the wires so they cradle the cabochon of your choosing. Finishing the piece really adds that touch of individuality as you learn to bend, curl and form the wire into both functional and decorative parts of your pendant.

Ed’s fascination with art started with handmade jewelry and art glass from different parts of the world.  He took a master gemstone cutting course after college and began creating unique handmade pieces of jewelry.  He also works with Precious Metal Clay. Guided by the spirit and creating from the heart results in the truly beautiful works he shares with the world.

A bit of history…
Wire wrapping of decorative elements can be traced back thousands of years to the ancient civilizations of the Egyptians and Celts, mainly used to create intricate symbolic jewelry. The technique has evolved through cultures and time is still popular today in the creation of artistic jewelry and decorative items.

No experience needed, this class is suitable for beginners. Classes are intended for adults to unwind and relax while creating.

Tools will be provided. Participants must be age 18+. Registration is required, maximum of 7 participants.
