Well, after the buying frenzy at the Columbus Beadstreet show, we had lots of exiting new materials to work with. We decided that our next foray would be into the world of wire working. To that end, we signed up for a class at the Columbus Ally Bead Store. Our project was to create a bangle bead bracelet using copper and a variety of metal and lampwork beads. Our instructor, Carla Meinberg, was very patient with us, as we had skipped the intro to wire class, which we should have taken before this more advanced class.
Aside from occasionally winging another student with an errant piece of copper wire, our bracelets were completed with a minimum of trouble. We each left with a new bracelet and the materials to make one in silver.
Next up:
A class in making stacked rings!
