The tutor Rachel Murgatroyd is an
expert in this field of jewellery making.
Wire wrapping is one of the oldest jewellery
making techniques. Jewellery made using
this method has been found in the pyramids
and has also been seen in Roman and Celtic
jewellery. The jewellery uses wire twisted
and interlocked, there is no soldering or
gluing. The art of wire wrapping requires
a minimum amount of tools.

be providing a pack containing enough materials
to make;
A silver and white topaz pendant
A gold fill and silver bangle
A silver or gold fill wire wrapped
pendant using own stone or one of your
choice purchased as an extra from Rachel.
Plus day two course materials.
Pack includes 15 feet of
various wire, snap set and a white topaz.
