Learn
to weave 24 gauge sterling silver wire around a dowel to create woven
wire for uses in bracelets, necklaces and whatever else your imagination
can conjure up. Antiquing with liver of sulfur and how to tumble polish
will also be covered. Once started, this technique is repetitive and goes
quickly. Beautiful end caps will give the finished piece a very professional
look. This workshop meets once.
