Tryon Arts and Crafts will host an Intermediate Wire-Wrap Jewelry workshop with instructor Sonia Arnold on Saturday, March 20 and Sunday, March 21 at the craft school located on Harmon Field Road. This workshop will enhance the skills of previous wire-wrap students and build on the basic techniques of bending, twisting and shaping wire.

Students will use techniques including: filing, tumbling, cleaning wire, applying texture and stone hardness to create more complex designs. The instructor will have different level projects to satisfy the level of each returning student. Some wire experience is needed and beginners should be familiar with basic tools used in jewelry making. Projects will include earrings, pendant, bracelet and rings as time permits.

Sonia’s work with jewelry is extensive and involves silver and gold smithing as well as wire work. Her artwork is found in Brevard at Number 7 Arts Co-operative and at the Gem & Mineral Museum in Hendersonville, NC. She and her family reside in Brevard, NC.
