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. UA-cam 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!

Great video thank you learnt a lot 😊👍🏻❤️
Imbali, you're the best.
gorgeous
So intricate so pretty!!
Gorgeous work!! So very talented!!
Thank you
How much is it?
Thanks for sharing, it's such a pleasure to learn from you. I would love to see a video of you fixing up the wire when it's not bent the way you intended, For an example when you first made the frame and the two ends going into the bail weren't symmetrical. Peace 🙃
Love them! ❤👏👍
This is gorgeous! I just started wire wrapping recently and discovered you today. I'm loving this wonderful archive of tutorials you have!
Wow, this is just stunningly beautiful when it's finished. You are quite an artist with your designs. I wish my poor hands could keep up. Subscribed ✌️
This. Is. Fantastic. Thank you so much for this video!❤
Gorgeous pendant 😍😍
Great tutorial and lovely design. I really like the window with the close-ups on the right of the screen. Thank you.
Beautiful piece, thank you x❤
Will you make this for sale with custom gems?
Hello! Such a beautiful bracelet! Thank you for the tutorial! One question...when adding the second set of 4 wires to the 5 other wires, when you wrap around wires 4 &5, are you bringing the wire between wires 5 &6? It looks like adjust it but i can't tell.
Molto bello. Un ottimo modo per ingabbiare una pietra. Complimenti per questo tutorial e tutti gli altri che hai pubblicato.👄
Very pretty. I love it.
Molto bello e ricercato. Complimenti
So love that you give us more than basic styles. I like the bells and whistles and I like your style. Thanks! Blessings and prayers!
Beautifully done, love the detail work. Thank you for sharing your instructions and beautiful result. Blessings to you!
Dang mine didn't look anywhere as near good as yours did. my loops wouldn't close and they kept overlapping with the previous ones even though I put the extra bend between them. grrr. I guess I have to keep practicing.
Thank you for sharing! Beautiful work!
Thank you for the great tutorial, really full of great information I was looking for🌸

Can I ask what gloves do you use, that don’t let heat through? Just looks like gardening gloves, but I presume they’re not… Many thanks for the video, it’s great!
Good Afternoon Nadji Shields I'm brand New to your Channel i love to eatch wire wrapping videos 👋😃👍💖💖
What a great tip about protecting the stones during polish. I’ve never thought about that. That’s yet another skill acquired as a jeweler with experience! Much respect!
Amazing and beautiful. I love your design. Your video and verbal instructions are very easy to understand. Thank you so much for sharing your art.
Beautiful pendant. Thank you, I really enjoyed watching the video.
I like the music playing. Is that just the yt stock music?
To me. This is so beautiful. I fell in love with it the first time I saw it it’s been a minute but I think I’ve practiced enough wire that I’m gonna try this in copper.
Please can you what are the sizes of those wires you use
🙌🏻 thank you! 🤍
Where do you get the gloves you use & are they heat resistant?
Woderful !❤ Thank you só mucho !!!
The weave pattern for the bezel just screams Art Deco, and I love it!
When I seen the picture of this pendant I have to say I immediately just said WOW! I love this it is so unique and beautiful. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful pendant!
Really enjoyed this, thank you so much🎉🎉
Beautiful ❤ and I adore your nails! 😯
