ArtWireLace

To get the most out of ArtWireLace©, it's important to understand the three key elements that make it unique. Each plays a vital role in the artistic process, and mastering them will help you to progress in practical sessions. *The First Element: ART* At the heart of ArtWireLace© is the art of shaping wire loops. The technique itself is new and exciting, with more than ten different ways to shape wire loops and produce incredible filigree wire patterns. I call this technique CroShape© or "Pilates with the Hook" as it's reminded me moving and stretching process in Pilates. To be shaped, the wire loops have to be "anchored". I created a special tool called "Tool on Spool"© or TonS©. Not only does TonS© anchor wire loops, but it also holds up to 70m of craft wire. *The Second Element: WIRE* Choosing the right materials and tools is key to creating the best filigree wire patterns. Good quality wire is essential, as it needs to be strong enough to withstand the pressure of shaping while still being soft enough for looping. I test every batch of wire to ensure its quality. I also developed the method to test the wire suitability for CroShaping©. Its called Breaking Point Test or BPT© *The Third Element: LACE* The final element is the result or product of your work. Over the years, I've created more than 20 collections of filigree jewellery and ornaments inspired by nature and love. The quality and look of ArtWireLace© products are exceptional, and the CroShaping technique is easy to follow. There's an endless variety of ArtWireLace© patterns to suit the most demanding projects. I've documented the entire process in different tutorials so that anyone can follow and learn. To get started, simply choose one of the kits available in the store.
