The course is designed for the beginner and the struggling student in the ancient art of wire wrap jewelry making and design; however, while learned skills in the field of wire art may be helpful, they are not necessary. This is not a course in wire beading or stringing.
With over 200 graphic illustrations, artist sketches, notes and charts leading you on a step-by-step journey, you will develop a true understanding of the basic principals and techniques of wire art construction and design. With a six-page glossary and pre-calculated design aids to propel you into the future on your artistic journey, this book will be the cornerstone of your reference library.
The initial investment in wire wrapping tools is quite low, around fifty dollars for the basic tools to use with this book. Twenty five feet of inexpensive wire (copper, brass or even sterling silver) will get you started for under ten dollars; however, 22GA-14K gold filled wire (your best bet) runs about a dollar a foot.
