What is Woods to Wire

Maddis Creative Project

Hiii it’s maddi! You can also spell my name Maddy (it’s a long story). I still can’t believe that the little girl crafting on her bedroom floor is seeing her dreams come to reality! I didn’t do it all myself, so many people have influenced the growth of WTW throughout the years.

I grew up in the redwood forest just a few minutes from the beach. As a kid my life was full of running around the forest barefoot, searching for beach treasures, and always some form of creating.

My designs are a reflection of who I am. As an artist, I lean towards clean lines with abstract yet simple designs. As an outdoor adventure lover, I can’t help but let my experiences influence my creations.

The History of WTW!

Fall 2019 - A group of high school girls created a bucket list. Two of the things on their bucket list were; to find a hobby, and make money. Soon came the idea of Meraki jewelry (don’t ask us how to pronounce it) The girls spent hours and hours bending away wire, sharing designs while googling specific jewelry-making techniques along the way. By the end of 2019, the girls were burnt out! After custom orders, car trunk fairs, and one craft fair…the idea of Meraki fizzled away.

March 2020 - After what felt like endless hours of boredom at home, Maddi finally dug into the bags of jewelry-making supplies that were left over from Meraki… this boredom brought her the desire to perfect her jewelry-making skills.

December 2020 - Maddi felt the need to share the creations she had been working on since March! With the help of Instagram, she was able to sell some earrings to friends…at about $3-5 each!

Valentine’s Day 2021 - word got out that Maddi knew a thing or two about how to bend wire! With connections and encouragement, Maddi participated in her first-ever big girl craft fair. Going by the name MMK Jewelry!

Spring 2021 - The name Woods to Wire came to be! Everything was made in the woods and made with wire! The meaning behind the name has evolved into much greater, more meaningful things.

As many businesses do, Woods to Wire has evolved over the years. Without all those mistakes and wasted materials, we would not be who we are today!
