Description: Learn how to create flat woven patterns with half round and square wires. Students will be shown how to properly set up the wires to make it easier to weave without tangling the wire ends. Students will also learn some tricks on how to make the repeating segments uniform and flowing. We will work on one pattern, but the demos will include discussion on how to create different designs with various other numbers of wires.
Materials included in price: Step by step color illustrated handout, copper wire in two gauges and two shapes, consumables. (Upgrade to silver will be available in class.)
