Bio: Susan Gardner, Owner/Artist/Teacher, Perfectly Twisted Jewelry
I have been designing and creating beautiful wire wrapped and wire weaved jewelry for13 years. I started as a self taught artist and still am, always experimenting with wire and learning from my own mistakes and experiences. My patterns are a unique and tasteful blend of intricate wire work and elegant design. I love the rocks and work my wires with the goal of 'showing them off' rather than covering them up. I build secure yet beautiful patterns, most of which are reversible for clean wire work on both sides of the stone. I've been teaching and working in the jewelry business professionally for the past 5 years and have a passion for sharing this timeless art form. My class room materials are all inclusive, giving you everything you need to create a beautiful piece of jewelry and then all the documentation you'll need to create more on your own! Hope to see you in class!
