From the little boy in Brazil learning the art of Samba to the American girl learning how to sell Girl Scout Cookies…one thing is for sure:

Nothing can make up for old fashioned one-on-one training with a proficient expert who has years (and oftentimes decades) worth of knowledge.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to take your wire jewelry making to another level, but weren’t sure how? Here at Wire-Sculpture.com we offer many different areas of information that are designed to help any level of jewelry maker increase their proficiency and skill level of jewelry making.

But training videos, emails, articles, patterns, etc. can only take you so far. In order to really progress to the next level its necessary to sit down and “pick the brain” of someone who has years of flourishing knowledge to share.

For the first time ever, we’re offering LIVE WIRE JEWELRY CLASSES with Dale “Cougar” Armstrong! World renowned for her unique ability to sit down and help students go from a beginner to intermediate level in just a few days, Dale has the wisdom and skill level to be able to help anyone achieve greatness!

***While we plan on having many classes similar to this one in the future, this first class is limited to the first 35 registrants.

Be sure to reserve your seat quickly and not miss out on this incredible opportunity to improve your wire jewelry skills and create friendships with others that will last a lifetime!

A die-hard rockhound, lapidary, and wire jewelry designer, instructor and author, Dale credits her mom for spurring the main interest that led to Dale’s chosen career. Her mother was an avid rockhound and many, weekend family adventures involved traipsing through the White Mountains of New Hampshire in search of abandoned pegmatite mines. This is where Dale’s fascination with, and education of rocks and minerals began, some 40 years ago.

Dale/Cougar, has a diverse art background, training in two-dimensional art with Carl Haskins of Vermont, and William Keyworth of New Hampshire. She also spent several years receiving personalized instruction with Karl Drerupe, renowned cloisonné and repossé artist. Dale attended the University of South Florida where she studied fine arts and geology. She worked as a technical, advertising artist for several years, ‘before the age of computers’.

Under her studio name of Cougar’s Creations, Dale displays her works at juried art shows, where she has taken many awards. As a featured artist, Dale has been interviewed on live television and has works for sale in museums and galleries.  Dale “Cougar” Armstrong is a regular contributor to Step-by-Step Wire Jewelry magazine and has been published in The Wire Artist Jeweler, Bead Unique and Art Jewelry magazines. She is a frequent instructor at Lapidary Journals’ BeadFest events, and has made a series of instructional DVDs, produced by Jewelry Television. As an instructor, she conducts workshops in her personal studio and by request, travels to teach classes at beadshops and other events nationwide. She has recently been one of many wire jewelry experts showcased by Wire-Sculpture.com through their tips, articles and other wire jewelry publications.

Dale’s newest success is her recently published book entitled: Wirework: An Illustrated Guide to the Art of Wire Wrapping.
