Some basic wire helpful but not required

Come learn the techniques of the age-old Byzantine chain and then take it to the next level of embellishment. For this introductory workshop into beaded chain jewelry design, we will use simple hand tools to assemble pre-cut silver jump rings into full circle of Byzantine chain with four Crown formations. This chain pattern is then inverted to be combined into a large square pendant with four voids to be fulfilled with gemstone beads secured by beading cable and a crimp tube. This is a project class with many valuable chain and bead techniques along the way; you will leave with a pendant on your key ring and a healthy hobby under your hat.
