We've Got Chainmaille
Chainmaille Jewelry (maille is French) is made by connecting metal rings to one another one at a time into a pattern.  In this class student will make two pairs of chainmaille earrings.  We will learn how to choose jump rings to make chainmaille jewelry, properly open, close and connect jump rings to create two different patterns. The first will be a simple spiral pattern to practice working with jump rings.  The 2nd is the Byzantine pattern which is a little trickier but is a versatile pattern that is used in a number of different chainmaille designs. All supplies and jewelry tools will be provided, but if you have your own tools, you are welcome to bring them.
