Wire Work

Capture a flat back cabochon stone in an elegant wire setting as you learn the basics of wire wrapping.  This technique teaches you to study and showcase your stone; create a bail; and accent the work with hand forged embellishments.  The finished project can be slipped onto a chain or with a bit of imagination, become the focal for a stylish necklace.  For your first project select an oval or round cabochon; stone options discussed in class will enable you to translate the technique to more complex cabochon shapes.
