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!

Each classroom will be 20 students and will run 10am to 4:30/5pm, with a one hour lunch break. Lunch is on your own and there is a convenient food court inside the show, so you can eat and enjoy seeing some of the amazing dealer booths. There is also near by fast food within walking and very short driving distances. There will be water bottles, small candies and chips inside the classroom for you to enjoy during class.
I will have 2 teacher assistants in classroom to help us though out the day. I will also have an overhead projector and camera on my work space so you get a clear, close up view of my hands during instruction!
Students must be 18 or over to attend alone and 16 years old minimum, with an adult.
*** There is a $7.00 Show entry to be paid at the Mart doors before you reach the classroom. Ask about Senior and Military discounts into the Show! ***
Class tuition includes:
Material kit with everything you need to complete a beautiful copper pendant project. I also give extra wires so that you can do another pendant at home after class on your own!
