Over the next couple of days I’ll be posting the work produced by my students in Wire Jewellery 1 and 2, but for this week’s YOJ entry, I’m posting my teaching sample of the AN Cab Bangle.\u00a0 This project ended up being quite challenging for the students and took an entire day for the class to complete.\u00a0 That was something I hadn’t anticipated, so there’s going to be a scheduling adjustment for next year’s class.\u00a0 What really impressed me was that everyone showed a lot of persistence in doing the project, which had a few tricky steps in it.\u00a0 One lady, Janice, was so determined to do it – despite how much it was frustrating her – that she refused any suggestion by me to modify it to something simpler.\u00a0 That caused me to joke that she was channeling her inner German:\u00a0 “I VILL<\/em><\/strong> complete zis bracelet!”\u00a0 The class cracked up laughing.<\/p>\n

The next day, Janice came to class proudly showing off the bracelet, which she had attempted again on her own at home.\u00a0 She said that she’d found the instructions very clear and easy to follow.\u00a0 She had every right to be proud:\u00a0 her bracelet had turned out beautifully!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
