I'm Nadja Shields and I have been into creating art all my life, but turned my passion into business when we moved from Eswatini to the UK in 2014. I LOVE teaching people which has led me to teach my art both, online and in physical workshops. Youtube was the next logical step, so here I am :)
This channel is all about teaching wire weaving/wrapping for any skill level. Whether you're new to wire work or have been around the block a few times in this medium, I aim to have fun material and interesting things to learn for everyone.
I cover anything from simple weave patterns for beginners, to more complex wraps for those further along in their journey.
I like to explore all wire work styles and, in turn, like to teach them, meaning that on this channel, you will find a vast variety of styles and techniques like various stone settings, heady wraps, layered weave designs, soldering and metal work to name just a few.
Basically: Subscribe! you won't regret it 😊
Happy weaving!

New tutorial in the making. I haven't made an Egyptian style design in a long time so I thought I'd try and see if I remember how to do it. This pattern definitely likes symmetry lol.

3 weeks without touching my tools! No wonder I am getting a bit fidgety! So good to be back and being able to make things again! I almost forgot how to do it lol. First 'after-holiday' pieces was this pendant. Paul (the hubby) thinks it's too busy, but I kind of like the whimsical vibe. What do you think? 🤔
Tutorial is being edited, and as always there will be a free video, PDF and kit for purchase.

Happy Friday everyone!! New tutorial in the making.
Who else loves black opals?? 😍 😍 This bracelet is going to be awesome when finished, oxidised and polished. If you want dibs on this piece message me! The picture does not do the opal justice, they are so hard to photograph!
