Workshop Description:
Have you ever wanted to try your hand at jewellery making? Are you interested in ancient skills and techniques? If so, this workshop is for you! In this workshop we will make loop-in-loop chain bracelets, a technique that has been used for at least 3000 years! This technique uses a series of jump rings (little wire rings) that are formed, fused together with a torch, bent, and then woven into a chain. While there are a huge number of loop-in-loop chain variations, this workshop will cover the most basic variety, the single loop-in-loop chain. In this workshop each participant will learn to make loop-in-loop chain and leave with an 8” long silver bracelet complete with a handmade clasp.
