The best way to create a loop is with a perfect pair of forming pliers. Forming pliers have one round, tapered jaw and one flat, tapered jaw. These pliers will allow you to make a loop without getting a “dent” on the outside of the wire. Never use round pliers as they will leave a dent in the wire.
Add color and creativity to your decals by using Thompson Enamel Marking Crayons and China paints.
Do you have a complex shape that you need to make a prong setting for? Follow these simple steps.
Kelly has a wonderful way of making students feel comfortable trying new techniques. She helped us develop an attitude of experimentation and of learning from mistakes or surprises. This was extremely helpful for me.
