your wire skills further on this follow-on wire skills class, learning
how to make basic spirals, wrapped loops and a range of wrapped
bead designs and using these techniques to make a few pieces of
jewellery.
The range of
designs we will be working on during the class will accomodate different
skill levels, as each design can be made using basic skills, but
