Enjoy the mindful art of wire wrapping with Alvin Alejo in Brisbane and discover how to make beautiful pendants and earrings with tumbled stones!
Tumbled stones are most times just left on the shelves or containers getting dusty and mouldy. There's a way to enrich their charm as the wires wrapped artistically adds up the value of the stones.
Within this two-hour jewellery making workshop, you'll learn how to make two necklaces; one wrapped with brass wire and the other in sterling silver wire and a pair of earrings wrapped in sterling silver wire.
The pendants and earrings produced will have a higher selling value depending on the stone used and how it was made. This is a good source of income by enhancing the value of your stones.
At the end of this relaxing and rejuvenating class, you'll have made two pendants and a pair of earrings to take home and cherish forever!

I like so much to work with my hands since my younger years which made me become skilful in many crafts. I am also knowledgeable in many other crafts which I have done in the past and is still doing them as needed, such as: furniture making, boat building, paddle making, furniture restorations, polishing, wood turning, metal crafts and Tai Chi.
I have a shed/studio where I do my personal works.
I am an active member of North Pine Pottery club, North Pine Trade and Foundry club and North Brisbane Lapidary club. I learn and share my other skills through these clubs.
I had been in Furniture Making business and is on Jewellery Making at the moment.

Alvin was a great teacher, very lovely and patient. I think the price was a little bit on the expensive side but overall a really good experience and I would recommend this class to anyone brand new to wire wrapping.
Thanks Alvin!

The teacher were very patient and friendly. Explained and demonstrated the wiring good. All materials were provided and I had an excellent time and a good conversation that made the class relaxing.

Very patient and helpful teacher. Gained some skills that assist with diversity in jewellery making for the future. Good timing for the workshop:
Reply from this teacher:
Thank you Jeniffer.
I hope you can use the wire wrapping
techniques in many applications.
This course was Excellent! My teenaged niece was on school holidays and this was the perfect activity. We both learnt a new skill and we are confident about undertaking on our own after Alvin's instruction. Alvin was a very patient and knowledgeable teacher. Great value for the money. I would certainly recommend this course.

The wire jewellery class was so much fun. Alvin was patient and encouraging. Well worth trying it.
The class was really good. Alvin the teacher knew his craft. He is very patient and explains everything really well. After being shown a couple of times I got the hang of it. I really like what I made and thoroughly enjoyed the class. I will most definitely do another one of Alvin’s workshops. I highly recommend 10/10
