More Classes up This Week

Robert Burton is our instructor of the week. He has been teaching at Beadfx for about a year now and going strong. Robert, a wire sculptor, has a natural flare for creating beautiful pieces of wearable art. His 30 years of experience in the bending and shaping of metals has made the transition to wire sculpting a natural one.

He has taught private lessons in the art of wire sculpture to custom jewellery makers.

Robert's work has been featured in the Port Hope Evening Guide and has been available through boutiques in the area.

Robert's classes are really popular and fill quickly, he teaches one day three hour classes as well three week classes in wire working.

Coming up on Saturday July 25th Robert has two classes. Wire Wrapped Beaded Bracelet and Earrings from 10-1pm



And Simple Wire Wrapping Techniques 2-5pm



These classes are ideal for beginners who would like some instruction in wire working and wrapping but are unable to commit to the 3 week 101 class.

Monday August 10th Wire Working and Wrapping 101 begins again for 3 weeks from 6-9pm.



Saturday August 15th we have 2 more Robert Burton classes Silver Braided Bracelet 10-1pm



And the Wire Wrapped Gem Stone Ring and Pendant from 2-5pm



Both of these classes are intermediate level classes. Students should have taken a beginner class or have a bit of experience.
