In this beginner level class, learners will be introduced to the basics of handmade chain making. We will also talk about how to approach designing pieces and how to create cohesive sets of jewelry to wear, give as gifts, or even sell.

Learners will be expected to purchase some basic tools & supplies in order to participate in this class.

This is a SELF PACED class - which means there are NO LIVE CLASSES. Instructional videos will be posted for your learner to watch and create along to, as well as optional classroom discussion. Students will be expected to also post photos of the work they have completed. The more your learner participates the more value they will get from this class!

Please see the attached Syllabus for details on each Lesson.

I want this to be a fun activity, & encourage my students to ask questions and share both their successes and struggles so we can all support each other & learn from one another.

NOTE: Learners should have the dexterity to use jewelry tools without assistance.

Learners will be expected to purchase some basic tools & supplies in order to participate in this class. This will be discussed during the first lesson, and will include:
* jewelry pliers (at least 2 sets of either chain nose or flat nose, as well a set of round nose pliers, is recommended)
* flush wire cutters
* pre-made jump rings (various sizes)
* ear wires or posts if making earrings
* clasps if making necklaces or bracelets
* wire, if desired (aluminum, copper, brass, silver - NO STEEL WIRE, it will ruin your cutters!)
* beads, if desired

These can be found at most crafts stores, as well as online. I will be sharing ideas of where to best find what you need.
