All materials are included, such as copper wire, jewelry pliers, natural gem stones or beads, findings, and polishing cloths. No prior experience is required—just bring your creativity! By the end of the class, you will leave with new skills, confidence in basic wire-working techniques, and a beautiful handmade piece of jewelry to take home.
