We are proud to offer our first training DVD, wirewrapped rings. In this DVD we discuss the tools and materials that you will need, then we make two rings, from beginning to end. Finally we discuss buying metal, polishing and other information that will help you make nice looking rings. The DVD lasts for 1 hour and 42 minutes. Here are the two rings that are made on the DVD:
Not everyone has access to a wire wrapped jewelry class. With this DVD you can sit back on your couch,
with a TV tray in your lap, and follow along at your own pace. The rings are made as if you are next to
my right side. I show the rings being made in real time with explanations as I go, and up-close looks
at the details. I show common problems and how to either avoid or deal with them. Essentially, this is
what you would get if I were giving you a private lesson. Like many things, wire wrapped jewelry making
involves very few techniques, but dozens of tricks of the trade. This DVD will shorten the learning curve
by showing the basics, the tricks I have learned and tips to aid you in developing your own style.
I recommend that you watch through the DVD once to figure out which tools you will want to get and which you can improvise.

Preview
You can preview the DVD at the link below. The clip is 2 minutes and thirty seconds long, with a size of 10 MB, so broadband will speed this up. I had to jump around to give a feel for the entire video. Of course, this is just a taste. I mostly show how things progress, but there are a few tips included. Again, this is just to let you peek at the video. I wanted to show the quality of the video and let you get a feel for how easy it is to see what I am doing. Remember, this is on a tiny Media Player screen and you will be watching on your television or computer monitor.
