Diane is truly a William Holland graduate, having had all her wire wrap and wire sculpture instructions here. She began Wire I in 1999 and continues to upgrade her skills today. She has studied under Bobbie Brown, Jane Mobley, Irene Francis, Linda Chandler, Jessie Donnan, Betty Baxter and Dawn Thornton,with numerous repeat classes under several of these teachers. She began teaching in 2003 and assisting her husband with mineral identification. Diane and her husband travel to several juried festivals with their wire and silver creations each year. They also maintain a studio in their home where Diane teaches private lessons during the winter months. Diane loves to teach the beginning student wherever she is, but will quickly tell you that her favorite place is at the William Holland School.

CLASS DESCRIPTION

Students will learn the difference between wire wrap/wire sculpture combination, partial wire sculpture, and full wire sculpture. Before the end of the class the student will be able to do all three successfully. Students should expect to complete a total of 13-16 projects using cabochons, faceted stones, donuts, and wire. Diane hopes that you come and bring your imagination and be ready to design some of your own projects. Diane will contact students by mail 5-6 weeks prior to start of class with a list of necessary supplies. If student registers less than 5 weeks prior to start of this class, they are expected to have supplies unless you contact Diane (843-634-6497). Because of the amount of wire used, this class is a bit expensive. In order to help the student with expenses, the student is expected to furnish his/her own wire. Any supplies other than wire will be available from the instructor.
