Watch the video for a breakdown of my top 5 forming fundamentals and explanation of each one:
1. Work on a perpendicular plane
2. No “pinching” – isolate your pressure
3. Gain strength using opposing pressure braced on the tool
4. Apply forming pressure in close proximity to the tool
5. Look down the jaw of the pliers while forming

Once the fundamentals are explained – there are demos of these principles in action. I cover:
• forming precise rightangle bends,
• forming curves
• how to adjust your hold and pressures to form away from you with your thumb or towards you using your index finger
• why applying pressure close to the tool yields more accurate results
• fixing the planes after every bend
• how to form at marked increments
• forming a connection loop
• and most important – how to upgrade from forming wire doodles to following a measuring chart for predicted results

You’ll be amazed at how these 5 fundamentals will increase your confidence in forming wire for jewelry making. Pair them with measuring charts and you’ll be able to craft consistent jewelry components with ease.
