Wire and Metal Bezeling a Rivoli
with Marti Brown

June 17th | 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.

Cafe of the Hunterdon County Senior Center
4 Gauntt Place - Bldg #1, Flemington, NJ

About this program
Join Marti as she teaches you how to coil a wire bezel that securely holds a rivoli crystal or cabochon you can add to your jewelry creations! With just two gauges of wire you’ll wrap a snug decorative frame that showcases your rivoli. Marti will also show a simple metal solution and a chainmaille solution for bezeling a rivoli.

Marti will bring wire kits so you can try out the wire bezel technique for $2.00. Bring a 14 mm Rivoli or a round 14mm Cab. (Jessica will bring 14mm rivolis, $1each, for purchase)

Bring your round nose pliers, chain nose pliers, and a wire cutter. Don't have them? Don't worry, Marti will bring some sets you can borrow.

About Marti
Marti was always interested in the arts. Marti became a professional artist and craftsman after completing her BFA in metalsmithing from Miami University of Oxford, Ohio. She has been designing jewelry for over 43 years. As much as she loves creating jewelry, she also greatly enjoys teaching, both nationally and internationally.

Marti has worked in a variety of traditional and contemporary jewelry metals and processes. To develop a niche for her jewelry she works in niobium, a colorful metal, and embellishes frequently with beads. She has added beadweaving, Viking knit, polymer clay, felting and chain maille to her inspirational techniques.

You can find Marti at bead shows as The Dragon’s Odyssey. She is a founding member of the Delaware Valley Bead Society encompassing Hunterdon County in New Jersey and Bucks County in Pennsylvania. More of Marti’s work can be viewed at www.marti-brown.com
