Wire Wrapped Jewelry, Class Registration, Saturday and Sunday September 15 and 16th, 2018, 10am - 5pm, Wire Wrapping 101, Beginner with Perfectly Twisted Jewelry at the Denver Gem & Mineral Show, Denver, Colorado



I will be teaching a beginner wire wrapping class on Saturday and Sunday, September 15 and 16, 2018, during the Denver Gem & Mineral show.  The same class is being offered both days due to popular demand for this class as well as to give you ample time to spend at the dealer booths! I bring all the classroom tools and materials, you bring a smile and a 'can do!' attitude and it'll be a wonderful time!
