Wire Wrapping Tutorials

Over the years I have learned a lot about wire wrapping. Some from free tutorials and some from just looking at photos, reverse engineering and a lot of trial and error. One thing I have found is that I enjoy teaching others the passion for constructing jewellery so I have put together wire wrapping technique tutorials for you to use for free. I do not own the wrap designs, I did not invent them, but I did figure out how to do them on my own. All photos and instructions in these tutorials are my own notes and work.

Please note that while I give the instructions to you for free, please do not teach classes with my instructions. An affordable teaching license can be purchased by contacting me at amanda@web4business.com.au
