Chain Making

Stop buying chain. Make it.

Five hours of wirework, and by the end you'll understand how every chain you've ever owned was put together. Necklaces, bracelets, whatever you want to hang off it.

What you'll learn

• The core moves: bending, looping, and making jump rings that close properly
• Several chain styles, from tidy and symmetrical to loose and organic
• Building chains that range from delicate to deliberately chunky
• Playing with different metals and textures so no two links have to match

Do I need experience? No, though a little comfort with hand tools helps.

What it costs Materials are added up at the end.

What you take home Finished chain, and a skill that quietly makes everything else you make look better.
