Date + Time: Wednesday, September 23rd from 9am-4pm
Level: Any Level

Join this engaging hands-on class to learn four techniques for wrapping stones and other natural findings, including shells, gourd shards, and unique pieces of your choice. These wrapped pieces are simple to create and add texture, visual interest, and a strong focal point to gourd vessels, pine needle baskets, and other art projects.
You will also learn a specific wire-wrapping stitch that is especially useful for securing uneven shapes, such as ammonite fossils, stone fragments, raw crystals, sea shells and sea glass, while keeping the design clean, stable, and attractive.
You will also learn three waxed linen thread techniques for wrapping stones, including one especially fun approach that incorporates seed beads to add sparkle and elegance to your finished piece.
