Wire Jewlery
2026-03-21 19:00 - 23:00 (America/New_York) | Armory Arts & Events Center, 203 Park Ave. South, Park Rapids, MN, 56470, United States
Learn the basics of wire jewelry while creating a copper pin and a necklace or bracelet. This beginner-friendly workshop covers tools, wire types, and simple wire-wrapping techniques. All materials provided.
Wire jewelry grows out of ancient traditions of personal adornment, trade, and craft. Across cultures, copper and other soft metals were shaped by hand into functional and symbolic objects—pins, fasteners, talismans, and decorative forms meant to be worn daily. Simple loops, twists, and wraps became visual language, carrying meaning through repetition and form. This workshop draws from that lineage, using accessible materials and traditional techniques to create wearable pieces with both beauty and purpose.
$25 per seat, tickets available on the Armory website.
