Known for her intricate wire wrapping and coiling, Jodi Bombardier presents a collection of 20-25 projects inspired by the ironwork of Tucson.

Instead, Jodi uses heavy gauge wire to create sinuous frames, cold-joining them with finer wire to form delicate, open patterns. Filigree jewelry typically involves intricate designs made of fine wires, but in this approach, cold connections replace hot ones, allowing for stronger, more stable pieces. Jodi emphasizes technique, teaching how to consistently shape wire frames and use tools effectively, highlighting the importance of proper body mechanics for achieving flawless designs. She delves into the fundamentals of filigree design, ensuring that airy pieces can endure daily wear. The projects progress in complexity, incorporating more wire elements as readers advance. While focused on skill enhancement, Jodi also nurtures creativity, showing how to manipulate and rearrange basic designs for endless variations. With project instructions and design inspiration, she encourages readers to explore their imagination in wire artistry.
