    Have you read Arline Fisch's book, Textile Techniques in Metal? She
    has a chapter on weaving there. I've been experimenting a little
    with weaving wire, and have had some success using very small looms
    that were intended to make things like potholders. I would say just
    get a very very small loom and experiment with different sizes of
    wire, weaving in the same manner that you would with yarn. Try a
    local toy store or craft store for kids - they usually have small
    weaving looms, round knitting looms, etc. that you don't see at
    "grown up" stores. Plus, instructions written for eight year olds
    tend to be very clear and well-illustrated.
