Wire Demonstrations with Wire Master Carolyn Eddy
Offered at Salt Lake City Gem Faires.
After a 2 year hiatus, Carolyn is excited to be back! Although, she will not be offering formal classes. Her passion for working with wire has motivated her to offer her effective and innovative kits and tutorial project sheets for sale during these demonstration/book signing appearances.
* See display case for samples of kits & tutorial projects *
She invites you to come hang out, enjoy a laugh or two and make something fabulous. During independent construction sessions that are free with the purchase of one of Carolyn’s Project Sheets, Kits or Books, you can sit down make a piece of jewelry and Carolyn will be available during the show to help participants through any construction, mechanics or design problems they may encounter as they independently construct their jewelry project; with the exception of the following “Scheduled Free Lectures or Demo times.”

- Allow a minimum of 1.5 to 2 hours per project. All projects must be finished half an hour prior to closing.
- After purchasing one of my books, you may do one of the projects but you will also need to purchase the materials needed for the project, either from myself (if available) or from a Gem Faire vendor.
- Already have an autographed copy of my book? Bring it and all you have to do is purchase a materials kit from me. Call or email me at least 36 hours prior to the show to make sure I reserve you a kit.
- With all of the distractions during the show, it could take you more than one day to independently construct a Traditional Pendant or Bracelet working independently from my book “Let’s Get Wrapped.”
About Carolyn Eddy
Wire Master, Carolyn Eddy has been creating stunning wire art jewelry for nearly 25 years. Her fine art background gives her a unique artistic insight and creative style to these age-old Wire Art skills. The same year Carolyn successfully completed the AFMS competitive judges training; she also competed and attained her AFMS master of wire arts, certificate and plaque. She has won numerous other awards both nationally and internationally. Her work has been juried and shown in numerous shows, fairs, street & heritage festivals and collections all across North America. The designs & instructions for Carolyn’s “Pearl & Crystal Wedding,” (Necklace, Earrings & Bracelet set) were featured in the January 2010 Bead Trends Magazine.

For 17 years (15 of those teaching classes for Gem Faire), Carolyn’s achieved national & international recognition as she traveled the country lecturing, demonstrating, teaching and making book signing appearances. Her classes and independent construction sessions promote “Mechanics & Design,” and are not based on a simple “Project Mentality.” The main objective of her sessions is to inspire creativity and motivate others to identify their own individual style.
