We are happy to have artist Robin Dudley-Howes with us teaching her Find it and Link it workshop. With 13 years experience in wire shaping and having assembled hundreds of pieces with exclusive designers, Robin has much to share in working with wire. For those of you with a basic knowledge of wire wrapping, Robin can almost guarantee you'll learn something new from beginner to advanced. In this class Robin will show you how to create at least 3 styles of "S" clasps, the "velvet" wrapped link, twisted jump rings, button connectors, figure eight, the "Lynne" link, eye pins, spiral head pins, spiral links, connectors, and much more! All students will receive a folder to attach their samples to, or if time allows you can link them all together.
Please bring good quality jewelry pliers. Robin suggests Lindstrom, Swamstrom, Bead Smith, Euro Tool or similar.
