Presentation rescheduled!
I was originally supposed to give a presentation on the History of Wire Jewellery on October 3, 2007 at the Gem & Mineral Club of Scarborough.
Unfortunately, my husband was involved in a car accident two hours before I was to give the presentation. (Thankfully, he’s fine – it’s wasn’t his fault and the car’s damage was relatively minor.) When it first happened, I phoned the President of the club to let him know that I would likely be late, because DH had to wait for the police. Luckily they were able to arrange another speaker on short notice.
So… the date has now been rescheduled. Mark it on your calendar!

Past Links – A History of Wire Jewellery
Dianne Karg Baron
One of the forms of metal available to the jeweler is wire. The art of creating jewellery from wire is popular with many craftspeople, particularly those of us in gem and mineral clubs. The popularity among clubs can be explained by the availability of beads, cabochons, polished stones and other lapidary products that are commonly used as attachments. Wire has been used in jewellery going back to ancient times. Dianne Karg Baron will trace its history, from its earliest known beginnings to modern times.
The presentation will take place at Knox United Church Hall, 2569 Midland Ave., Scarborough, ON.(located on the northeast corner of Midland and Sheppard Ave.).
Guests are welcome to attend!
