Woven Jewelry with Natural Fibers

To start the course, meet your teacher, Mercedes Salazar, and hear about her background. She tells you about her influences and how she discovered her passion for jewelry and artisanal techniques. She then gives you an overview of the course and explains the final project: your own jewelry collection.

In the next unit, immerse yourself in the world of artisanal jewelry and see how Mercedes uses the art form as a way to express herself and bring her ideas to life. Go through all the tools needed to craft jewelry and transfer your ideas to a mood board as different shapes and silhouettes for your collection.

Now it's time to start creating! First, learn how to make wire frames for your pieces. Then, practice different weaving techniques using palm fibers to create a variety of patterns. Continue working with these techniques to craft a pair of earrings, a brooch, and a necklace for your collection.

Finally, Mercedes demonstrates how to enrich your designs with additional materials and shows you different ways to creatively package your accessories. She also gives you some tips on how to get started in the world of jewelry making and discover the magic of this art form.
