CLASS DESCRIPTIONS AND REGISTRATION

Chain Making Classes

Instructor: Mary Cohen

The craft of chain weaving has ancient origins and contemporary appeal. Learn to construct elegant handcrafted chains in two classes, each featuring a jewelry weave suitable for bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Our morning class will focus on a beginning weave for which no experience is necessary. In the afternoon class we will learn a more complex intermediate weave.

We will weave our chains with saw-cut, tumble-polished copper rings, provided by the instructor in the ring kit. Each kit will contain enough rings for a bracelet 8.5 inches long
plus a copper or stainless steel clasp.

For more information on chain weaving see www.mailartisan.com

Beginning class:	Sunday, July 10 from 10:30 to 12:30.
Intermediate class:	Sunday, July 10 from 1:30 to 3:30.

Class fee:	$45.00 per class Sign up for both the beginning and the intermediate classes for $75.00.

Filigree Earrings
Instructor: Brad Smith

Learn to make your own pair of Sterling silver filigree earrings. Filigree jewelry is known for its repeating patterns made from lengths of finely twisted wire. When soldered together, they give the look of a pretty lace. No prior jewelry experience is necessary. All silver wire, ear wires, and filigree wire will be supplied.

The class will start with a demo of how to prepare the twisted wire. Then students will make an outer frame for the earrings, shape the several filigree elements, fit them into the frame and solder all of the joints. After a little sanding and a quick polish, you’ll be able to attach some ear wires and wear your earrings home.

When	Sunday, July 10 from 10:00 to 1:00.

Class fee:	$65.00
