In this class you will learn how to form wire to create links, forming handmade chain lengths to be used in your finished jewelry piece. This is the perfect fun metalsmithing project for the beginner or for those with experience alike. You will choose the size and shape of each link, how they connect, and if they will be layered. (This is a fun way to make lightweight, airy earrings!) If you choose to make a necklace, you will make a strand for the center, and the remainder of your length will be regular chain with a handmade clasp. You will hammer texture the links to create strength and you will have the option to patina your links to add contrast.
Included Materials - For this project you have the option to work with bronze or silver fill, or a mix of the two. All tools and supplies will be included. This is up close detail work, please bring any magnification eyewear you would typically use for such work, any personal jewelry making tools that you prefer to use.
Please wear closed-toe shoes and comfortable clothing that can get dirty.
