About the event
Join us this November for the first of our workshop classes in our new Lapidary Institute workshop!
Instructor: Genevieve is a nature enthusiast who has spent most of her life enjoying the outdoors. She began wire wrapping in 2022, and her practice has since grown into detailed art of wire weaving. A self-taught artist, Genevieve will show you how to deconstruct any weave you see so you can recreate it yourself. She'll also share tips on measuring wire accurately, choosing the right stone or wire for your project, and finishing your piece with patina.
