The Wire Wizard Video Notebook Volume One has been lauded as one of the best
instructional videos available today. The video was recorded digitally so
the pictures have outstanding clarity and the close-ups let you see exactly
how to make movements with your hand tools. It covers tools, tool
preparation, all phases of jigging, making fancy "s" clasps with beads
embedded in them, how to make your own jump rings, figure eights, simple
chain and more.
The jigging segment covers fancy chain elements, ornaments, pins, ear wires,
how to do variations on a theme and other key tips to make wirework easier
and tremendously gratifying. Many examples of jewelry made with Wire Wizard
jigs are also shown. A full hour and forty-five minutes long, this is a
complete wireworking class on tape. It is $39.95 plus shipping.
Order by phone, fax, e-mail or snail mail.
Also available at this time is Corrine's Coiling Gizmo instructional video, titled "Wirework a New Way,"
produced by LeRoy Goertz (of The Refiner's Fire), at $24.95 plus shipping and handling.
Testimonials:
Dear Corrine,
I saw you at the Tucson show and bought a jig, video and tools, as well as a coiling tool. I'm having a great deal of fun with all my new toys.
Just wanted to say, I agree with all the testimonials that the video is an outstanding instructional tool. It is virtually 'idiot proof' (I used to write technical instructional manuals, and that was my highest aspiration!)
Thank you,
Leah Barr
Thanks again for
your jig and demos. The video is the best I have ever seen
done. The closeup pictures make it really simple to understand. It is also
a really good jump start course for someone that has been away from it
awhile.
Thanks again.

Dear Corrine, I wanted to
email you to let you know what an inspiration you have been to me. I have only been making
my own jewellery for just over a month now. I knew I wanted to work with wire and when I
found your website, well, I was so thrilled with what I saw. The jig was something I knew
I had to have!! I eventually tracked one down through a craft company here in the UK. I
have made so many necklaces, bracelets, earings and chokers using the jig, and it seems
that everything I make, someone wants to buy!!! I am waiting for more wire to be
delivered as I ran out on Thursday...and wait by the post box eack morning...I think
I am well and truely hooked!!!! I have attached photos of one of my necklaces and a
pair of earrings. I use silver plated wire 0.9mm and 1.0mm thickness. I have already
made over 30 pieces...not bad for a novice! I hope you like them! Keep up the good work!
Regards, Sandra
Hello Corrine,
It was good to see you today at the Bead Faire. I was hoping you would be
there so I could say hello and thank you personally for the joy and fun you
have brought into my life.
Last year I attended the Faire and I bought a lot of your things - the
WireWizard, the Universal Jig, and all the tools necessary to make jewelry. Your
wonderful things have given me countless hours of creative satisfaction. Your
video is invaluable and I have watched it numerous times. It's a treasure
trove of step-by-step information on how to make wire jewelry.
I have made things for myself, for gifts, and to sell. Today I mentioned to
you that I'd seen a wire hand with a spiral in it and, low and behold, you
had made one and showed me how to do it!
I enjoy looking at your website and check it often.
Thank you very much!

"I want to thank you!I can only say WOW!I got the jig and the video last
Friday and went right to work. Thanks to your wonderful instruction I
was able to turn out interesting pieces quickly. Your video has taught
me many things about wire and tools that no one has ever told me.Thanks
a million!"

"You asked that I give you an honest opinion of your video for the Wire
Wizard and after watching it once in it's entirety to get the feel of
how to use the tools and watch the flow of the wire and the pinioning of
your fingers, I then went through each example and duplicated every step
you showed. There was not one time I experienced a failure or was
unsatisfied with my personal results!
"This video is amazingly easy to watch and to be able to accurately
duplicate each item described without "the novice homemade look" that
can result from others is so exciting! I have recommended this product
and video to others without hesitation. My one word review of this video
is "MORE!"
"Thanks for making a winning combination! With so little spare time, I
don't have a lot of practice time to devote to my hobbies, you make it easy
to succeed, the results are so gratifiying that I can't stop jigging! Every thing
I look at I seem to try to follow a flow as if to create it with wire!
"So, does this mean I am one of the "Jigging Junkies" now????
"Can I ask if I could demonstrate this tool at my club? I belong to the
Northwest Opal Association. It's a rock and gem club and lots of us are
interested in wire work. Please let me know if this is allowed. "

"I purchased the wire jig and tools from you at the Tucson Whole Bead Show. I
also purchased the video, which at the time I hesitated to buy since I wasn't
sure that I needed it.
"I wanted you to know how much I have enjoyed the video. It is very easy to
follow, and I was able to easily see all the details on which ever piece you
were working on. Actually it was better then taking a class in person since I
could work at my own pace. It has such a large amount of information that I
had to watch it in three segments. After watching the video all the way
through, I have gone back repeatedly to watch parts of it again as I am
working. You put in many details that if they were left out, the item would
not have the finished look. So thanks for making such a good video."

"I met Corrine at the Tucson show last February and could hardly stay away
from her booth at the Whole Bead Show! She stood by the hour and
demonstrated all kinds of techniques, answered any questions and was so
helpful. I bought quite a lot of tools and wire from her, but the best thing
I found was her Wire Wizard. That has opened all kinds of new arenas to me.
I now very confidently make my own ear wires, and have great fun designing
necklaces particularly using the Wire Wizard. The various sizers that come
with it give me so many different options.
"I also invested in one of her training videos, and what a great investment it
was. She's so clear with her instructions, and so creative in her work with
her Wire Wizard - what a winning combination!
"I've used her web site frequently and have been so pleased with her quick
responses to my questions - I live in an area where there are very few
resources for those of us who bend wire! She also features new patterns for
the Wire Wizard on a regular basis, which is a real boon to those of us who
don't seem to have the time to experiment so much.
"I feel like I've gained a friend in Corrine and have certainly gained
new skills by using her Wire Wizard and video."

"Corrine, I want you to know how much I appreciated and enjoyed your
Wire Wizard video! I was thrilled that I could see your tool in use and with
clear, concise, instructions. I picked up more tips than I had anticipated
and found the video well worth the expense. I thought I knew more than I
did. It is very generous of you to share your secrets and lead the way for
others to discover the new world of wire jigging. What I learned has opened
up a whole new dimension of ideas for me to pursue. I anxiously await the
next video. Thank you."

"I am very much enjoying the video. The up close shots are great and
your teaching is very thorough and easy to understand. I am glad I
got it."
