NICOLE HANNA JEWELRY FAQ

No. At the moment, I'm not currently teaching workshops or classes in person.

At this time, I do not offer wholesale purchasing options.

While not widely advertised, I do occasionally accept requests for custom work, depending on my current work load. Please feel free to inquire via the contact form. Be sure to include budget, preferred materials, and preferred size.

Not at this time. I am a minimalist by nature and am not likely to support waste through the publication and production of a physical book. Digitally, PDF tutorial bundles are available to help get you started on your own wire wrapping journey.

In the faraway lands of Michigan, 2006, I was at a local craft fair, selling beaded necklaces I'd collected over a year rampant with crafting obsessions. While taking a break and viewing the work of other sellers, I ran across a lovely display of wire wrapping and thought to myself "This... this is what I want to learn", so I went home, looked up wire wrapping online, bought a spool of wire and wrapped what was the ugliest thing I'd ever seen. But it was a start.

Currently, I buy most of my tools from RDJTools (Etsy), Rio Grande, or Amazon. My wire is also generally from Rio Grande or Amazon, depending on immediate need and speed of delivery. The prices and quality, I find, are comparable. There are a number of gemstone sellers I utilize, such as Patrick & Kayla Warner on Facebook, but most of whom I cannot remember, as I tend to order when they pop up in my feed, assuming there's a need at that moment.

I typically like to recommend a quality pair of flush cutters, flat nose, and needle nose pliers. For materials, 20 gauge and 28 gauge wires are popular, and with a single strand of 8mm round beads, a limitless number of designs can be imagined.

I love teaching. I love sharing designs. But I also love creating one-of-a-kind artistic representations of my techniques. I sell both tutorials and finished work and, as such, it would be impractical to provide instructions on every piece I make. Some things must, by necessity, remain sacred to my brand and line, so customers know they are buying a unique, one-of-a-kind piece.

Unfortunately, no. Tutorials require a massive investment of time. Though I could, technically, produce a PDF or video tutorial for individual, private use, the cost would be exponentially higher in order to cover the hours invested and the rights to use a signature design tied to my personal line.

Unfortunately, I live in a small two bedroom condo, where space is not at a premium. My office is in the second small bedroom and is shared with my ritual practice, where there is not room to host others.

If a tutorial is not visible on my website, it has been retired and is either no longer available or only available as part of a bundled package.
