About This Course

Learn how to make Numbers, Characters, Combinations, Name Pins and more

This course is for students who have completed my first course - How to Write in Wire and make Wire Name Necklaces.

There are more advanced techniques in this course with the added Name jewelry skill of making Wire Name Pins, and how to make 2 names together as well as more material.

The course content with all the sections are listed below.


  • Making numbers 0-9 in wire (Starting from bottom, middle or top)

  • How to follow the letters o and p (following on to the next letter from the top instead of the baseline)

  • Making symbols (Making !,?,@,%,+,(),/\)

  • Making Name Pins (brooches)

  • Name configurations (2 names on a pin or necklace, hyphenated names)

  • Removing dents and abrasions on your name

  • Letters in other Languages

Numbers that are joined together are better done without returning to the baseline after each number. The letters o and p are the 2 lower case letters that look better when you start it at the baseline and leave it at the top. Symbols are many, at the moment I have the ones listed above. Pins or brooches are ideal for hats and on bags etc. Not so much on clothes as they can leave a hole in the material. 2 names together can be done in different ways, but I describe in in one way I used to do it. Hyphenated names can be troublesome, so I usually leave out the hyphen. Dents and abrasions can only be removed from pure wire (not plated). Currently I have the Norwegian vowels, but they are also used in other languages.

  • By the end of this course, students will have extended knowledge of Wire Writing and Wire Jewelry making

After first starting with making simple beading jewelry, I moved onto the Wire Writing. Since then, I built a small portable business and sold my work wherever I went. I mostly made Wire Name Necklaces, but have dabbled in other ideas as well.After moving from the UK to Australia in...

Andy does a great job of demonstrating how to bend the wire, while narrating. Both camera work and narration are very well done.
