Some basic wire helpful but not required

For this introductory workshop into beaded chain jewelry design, we will be exploring how to set gemstone beads into the tri-metal Infinity chain pattern. Using the new mandrel-tip pliers, we will set gemstone beads onto headpins and assemble them into a simple two-on-one chain of bronze and silver rings. The final embellishment of copper infinity rings will overlap each silver ring adding visual depth and pattern.  Bracelets will be completed with a hand forged bronze S-clasp, along with a demonstration by hammer and anvil. This is a project class with many valuable chain and bead techniques along the way; you will leave with a bracelet on your wrist and a healthy hobby under your hat.
