Lonely Soldier Designs

Hey everyone, and welcome to LSDesigns.

I’m Jim, a wire jewellery designer and tutor. This is where I share what happens in my studio.

I’ve been working with wire for years, designing jewellery, teaching workshops and finding new ways to make wire do something it probably wasn’t expecting.
The channel is about learning wire wrapping, from basic skills to complex pendants. I’ll show you how to use your tools, which suit the job and why. I champion the beginner and want to set you on your path to wire greatness.
I’m not interested in just showing you how to do things by painting by numbers. I want to show you the “why”. Understand what the wire is doing and why a particular tool or technique works, and the whole process starts to make more sense. Whether you follow the design or use what you’ve learned to do something different, the important thing is understanding what’s happening at the bench.

So pull up a chair, grab some wire and let’s see what we can make.
Welcome to the bench.
