Beginners Crochet Wire Necklace with Beads - Half Day Class - Choose date
If you are a Beader, a Knitter, an Embroiderer, a Weaver or just plain nutty about everything textile, I have a class for you.
With over 10 years of teaching these specialist wire techniques I give you tips and tricks that you won’t find in any books.
If you are new to crocheting with wire I recommend you start with this class - specifically designed for complete beginners even if you have never crocheted before - you will be amazed what you can achieve with this highly versatile technique, no experience necessary - just nifty fingers!
Even if you already know how to crochet this project will teach you all about crocheting with wire, how it behaves, what it can and can’t do - and how it opens up a whole new world of 3-Dimensional jewellery design possibilities.
Join me at Cockpit Studios Bloomsbury for an afternoon of fun making a Crochet Wire Necklace. We follow a set project to make a 3-strand beaded Necklace.
We will cover the following tasks on the day:
• how to cast-on crochet stitches
• make foundation chain
• add beads into individual stitches
• how to create bead stalk stitches
• how to crochet loops using a slip-stitch
• how to finish off your piece and attach a vintage button clasp
Choose from a large selection of pretty coloured wire and beautiful glass beads to personalise your design.
This class will equip you with all you need to know to get started on your journey of wire crochet jewellery design.
Teri’s class is held in a large light airy studio. She is a talented artist and a good tutor. As a total beginner I was quickly able to pick up the wire crochet. There was a good range of wire and beads to choose from. This class enabled us students to make a delightful necklace which would be easy to repeat at our leisure. I thoroughly enjoyed the class and would definitely recommend it. Susan H.
What time does the class start and finish?
Classes run from 12-4pm but if you are close to finishing your piece classes may run longer.
What is included?
ALL materials for this project are included in your fee, including steel crochet hook, gorgeous coloured reel of wire plus a large choice of beautiful beads - and a step-by-step project book to keep. Take home whatever you have left to carry on making at home.
Small class sizes of six maximum makes individual instruction possible, so no-one is left struggling on their own.
We follow a project for this class - but it will equip you with many options for designing future projects of your own. No need to bring anything. If you are faster than your fellow classmates I can give you extra tasks to keep you fully occupied.
Do I need to bring anything?
If you wear glasses for close-up work you will need to bring them. All tools will be provided. Extra Wire and Beads are available to buy on the day to take home.
Free tea, coffee and biscuits are available throughout.
Cockpit Studios is wheelchair accessible. Please let me know if this service is required.
