October 2016 – bebeady beginners wire skills, loops and links theme

This class at my studio covers basic wire skills, how to make loops in headpins / wire and join bead sections together, plus how to use jump rings, hoops and chain in jewellery designs. It takes a while to get used to using the hand-tools, but everyone managed really well and created some lovely jewellery. These are just a few of the pieces created by my students at the class.
