This bracelet was inspired by traditional iron scroll gates. Learn to twine multiple wires together and to bind them with a tiny coil. By the end of the workshop you will have mastered an intricate weaving technique as well as constructing thin gauge wire coils with a drill. A matching coiled and scrolled hook clasp provides the finishing touch.

This bracelet is created with sterling silver wire and Japanese seed beads. The band is formed using a unique weaving technique that adds a classic element to the piece, while the focus is on the distinctive circle inside a circle component that is woven to the band which runs through the entire bracelet.

Create a symmetrical flower pendant with a trapped rivoli center. Petals anchor a low-tech prong system, and a jump ring basket creates an open bezel cup. A 14mm rivoli sits perfectly in the center to add a sparkly focal to this all-about-wire pendant. The leafy Vite Chain makes a perfect accompaniment and will be taught in class as a special bonus.
