Here's what Dale Armstrong, wire jewelry instructor, says about this DVD:
"Oh my goodness! When a new student asks me just what is involved to begin making and selling wire jewelry, I could talk for hours, but instead I put all of it onto this one DVD. I talk about the basic tools you absolutely need to have and the fact that they don't have to cost a lot, but do have to work well for you! I also show and explain the different wire and supplies you can use! I also demonstrate a few basic wire jewelry techniques and how some tools can be used. This DVD can answer a lot of questions for anyone who is thinking of trying their hand at making wire jewelry!"
-Dale "Cougar" Armstrong, Wire Jewelry Instructor
In the Wire Jewelry Beginner Series, you'll master foundational wire techniques, while creating ready-to-wear (and sell!) stunning wire jewelry. From bangles to earrings to wrapped stone pendants, you'll be impressed with how much you can create with wire - and your friends and family will be left wondering how you made it!
Within this series, Dale Armstrong teaches each project on every DVD exactly as she does in her classroom. Each DVD project teaches the skills and techniques necessary to work from one project into the next, progressing from learning how to straighten, bundle and properly wrap with square wire, to hand shaping and how to properly size and resize wire ring designs!
By purchasing the entire Beginner Series and working through them in order, beginning with Project 1, All Wire Unisex Bracelet and ending with Bonus Project 9, Crystal Finger Bauble, it's like being in a week-long workshop - at your own pace! This beginner series features 19 different projects, including rings, pendants, bracelets, earrings, and a collar. Dale also discusses the formulas used and shows project variations so you can incorporate the techniques taught into your own designs.
Each DVD comes complete with written follow-up directions for each and every project, along with sizing formulas when needed!
