9/24/23 Wire Wrapping Briolette Earrings

This class takes place Sunday, September 24th from 1:30-4:30pm in beautiful Pacifica, California. Come take a fun class and be creative!

In this class we will learn how to wire wrap a tear drop shaped bead (a briolette). We will make a pair of briolette earrings like the ones shown here. You will choose between an array of assorted gemstone briolettes and combine them with simple metal blanks or jump rings or keep them solo. This is a great project for beginners to learn some wire wrapping skills. Author and designer, Taryn McCabe will show you the ins and outs of making your own wire wrapped briolette earrings. 

We begin with a variety of design stamps and use them to create one-of-a-kind mandalas. We will then learn basic jewelry techniques to transform our stamped creations into a finished jewelry piece.

This class will cover how to wire wrap a briolette bead, polish metal blanks, texture metal with various hammers, create holes in metal, and how to make your own ear wires. 

We will work with aluminum, brass, copper as well as sterling silver and 14K gold filled wire.

The cost of this class covers all instruction, the use of all tools in class and the materials for one finished jewelry project. If you are a prolific maker and wish to make more than one piece jewelry, additional costs will apply. 

After purchasing this class you will receive an email with full details such as the address, where the class will be hosted, and how to complete your registration.
