Jessica, there are many books that promise to get you started in wire
wrapping, and a lot of them will do so -- but you'd be better off
attending a class. Find a rock club or lapidary society in your area;
many of them offer classes in wire wrapping, faceting, stone-cutting
and the like, and in a small, personal atmosphere, to boot. Most clubs
welcome guests and new members with open arms, and their class costs
are a lot less than you'd find at a community college (even though the
instructors are often one and the same!)

You would also do well to point your browser at "Ganoskin" and
subscribe to their Orchid List; it's populated by veteran jewelers and
newbies alike, and you'll profit by it. Hope this points you in a
pleasant direction...

Hello,

I just joined this group. I've read a few dozen of your posts in and
it seems that most of the members are very experienced. I'm glad that
I joined a group that I can learn.

What's the best way to get started with wire wrap jewelry? I'm new to
this and I set my goal to get to the point that I can make some cool
jewelry and sell in my online store. Go to a class, or is this
something that I can learn myself in a couple of months? Is there a
good "wire wrap for dummy" tutorial or book?

I'd like to get your feedback. Thank you for your time!

Regards,
Jessica
