Instructor: Amy Castine
Cost: $15 for Del Ray Artisans members and $25 for non-members, plus an optional $15 supply kit

While making a three dimensional lizard, students will learn the basics of wire weaving. We will use a simple template and medium gauge wire to form the base of the lizard and add beads of each student’s choice woven into the frame with thin gauge wire. Everyone can personalize their creature in natural or fantastical colors. This class is a good introduction for anyone who wants to develop their skills as a wire weaver. Ages 12 and up.

Purchase the $15 supply kit of wire and beads (students will need their own pliers) or make sure you have these supplies to make your lizard friend:

• 10 yards 18 g wire
• 30-40 yards 22 g wire
• 24 grams size 8/0 seed beads
• 2 fancy beads for eyes
• pliers

If you purchase a supply kit, please pick it up at the gallery on Friday, June 25 between 5-8pm.

This workshop will be online through the Zoom platform. Registered participants will be sent the connection information via email two days before the workshop and again one hour before the workshop. You may attend on a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
