Default New to wire wrap jewelry ... how to get started?

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

I agree classes would be best - I'd just add that there are videos
both for purchase and perhaps on-line (try youtube).

If you live in a medium/large city, you may have art/jewelry classes
available through a Gem & Mineral club or junior college or craft
'guild'. Often, any local hobby/craft store will know of such
organizations.(my own club teaches wirewrapping along with wax
modeling, casting, fabrication,faceting/lapidary work etc.)
