The project is to crochet a coral reef: a woolly celebration of the intersection of higher geometry and handicraft, and a testimony to the disappearing wonders of the marine world. Come learn the simple techniques of hyperbolic crochet discovered by mathematician Dr. Taimina and/or if you already crochet come be a part of the creation of this beautiful piece. All participants will be acknowledged. Our projected finished date for the whole project is August 23rd when the seascape will be displayed at the store. OMSI will display it starting December 1st for 3 months. Bring in completed pieces any time the store is open. Donated yarn & hooks are available or donate more to the project
Open work times in the store:
Do you have an outdated necklace or piece of jewelry you want to revive? Have you broken a necklace lately and still have all the beads? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this class is perfect for you. Turn an old necklace, bracelet, or piece of jewelry into a pair of cluster earrings. Incorporate basic wire wrapping techniques and your own design ideas into this class and you will leave with a fabulous pair of earrings all your friends will covet! You will learn how to attach beads or stones through wire wrapping onto a chain to create a dangly pair of versatile earrings suitable for day or evening!! Once you have mastered this technique, you can create all kinds of "cluster" jewelry including necklaces and various kinds of earrings. Not only will you make a pair of totally unique and original earrings like the ones shown here, students will learn how to use basic jewelry-making tools--needle nose pliers, wire cutters, and round nosed pliers.
Special notes and items to bring:
Students should bring the jewelry they want to re-create into earrings and if you don't have any, the teacher will have some on hand for you! All other supplies included.

Take your wire wrapping to the next level. Make your own, unique wire wrapped ring in this class using silver, gold, or colored wire and finish it with a semi-precious stone (provided by teacher). This is one of the easiest and most forgiving techniques! This skill is easily transferable and after mastering this technique in class, you will be able to create your own designs at home! Leave this class with one wire wrapped ring. (If you have a stone with a drilled hole in it you would like to use, please bring it to class.)
