Looking for a creative boost to your jewelry
repertoire? Come discover the intrigue of the ancient
Japanese 12-1 radial chain patterns used by Samurai warriors
for protection in battle. For this introductory workshop
into beaded chain jewelry design, we will use simple hand
tools to assemble pre-cut silver and bronze jump rings into
a triangular key fob. We will then set carnelian tube beads
onto wire and assemble a small section of Japanese 12-1
chain at both ends to create a stunning pair of
earrings. Finally, we will be bending 19-gauge silver
headpins into matching earring wires to wear your creations.
This is a project
class with many valuable chain and bead techniques along the
way; you will leave with
a triangle
key fob, a pair of earrings, and a healthy hobby under your
hat. |
