Wired for creativity
A line, a curve, a twist, a ourish. Form, shape, structure.
From rough and rigid to moveable and malleable, the design potential inherent in
a piece of wire is limitless. You can wrap it, weave it, twist it, tie it, braid it, loop it, and
much more. Put lame to it to change its shape or coil and cut it to make the jump
rings for a piece of chain mail. Whether you like bold, simple shapes or intricately
detailed structures, wire ofers an intensely lexible avenue to self expression.
But you can’t expect to simply pick up a spool of wire and get it to do exactly what
you want right away. Beginners and even experienced wireworkers sometimes get
stymied by broken, kinked, or scratched wire. Rather than giving up, the wise maker knows that practice and
learning are the keys to successful creation. In
Wire Jewelry Start to Finish,
we put together a wide
range of helpful information, tips, and how-tos to help you understand the materials that are
available, which tools to use, and the techniques that can help you realize your vision.

To further your skill development, we selected more than 30 projects that explore a host
of fundamental wireworking techniques. Projects in “Beyond the basics” underscore
essential skills like shaping, wrapping, forging, and coiling. In “Make your own indings,”
you will learn to craft beautiful earwires, clasps, and cones to give your designs a hand-
made inish that is uniquely your own. The “Playing with ire” section introduces three
key techniques you can do with a handheld torch, namley balling up the end of a wire for an
elegant inish, soldering wire ends for a permanent join, and adding color with enamel. In “Wire weaving” you’ll
learn how to create wonderful textures and patterns by weaving thin wires around thicker ones. In addition,
you’ll ind tutorials on Viking knit and a basic braid, both of which create fabulous necklace ropes to wear alone
or to support your favorite pendant. Finally, the chain mail section introduces seven diferent weaves that you
can use to make all sorts of designs with a modern touch.
So whether your style is classic or contemporary, delicate or daring, you will ind the inspiration and instruction
you need for your wireworking journey with
Wire Jewelry Start to Finish.
