This class has prerequisites please see details below before you register.

This 2 session chain making class is designed for students looking to hone their previous experience with tool and torch skills. The instructor will provide demonstrations. With guided hands-on repetition, a chain link necklace is a great project to help improve your skills. In this class, we will be using copper wire to learn the process and decide on a clasp design. Then sterling silver wire for your final project piece you get to take home. 

All materials and tools will be provided for use during the class.
