Jewelry Making Workshop at Woodson Branch Nature School

Jewelry Making Workshop with Danny Wilcox: In this workshop, students will be taught how to make a wire wrapped pendant from start to finish. They will learn about various types of wire and well as the tools used to set a stone, so it can be worn!

My name is Danny Wilcox and I am an artist here in Madison County. I started wirewrapping in 2009 and it continues to be an avenue I seek for creativity. Since then I have gone deeper into jewelery making, expanding my creative endeavors to include silver and gold smithing. I have taught a number of wirewrap workshops and classes over the years, including 3 years at Tryon Arts and Crafts school. My inspiration comes from the creativity I see in nature. I often build around the beauty of the stones themselves to create pieces of wearable art. I am excited for the opportunity to spread the knowledge of this craft to my local community!
