Metalworking: Mixed Metal Twisted Link Chain $50
June 21 @ 11:00 am – 2:00 pm
Wire work isn’t all about wrapping! Come make this simple chain with twisted wire, simple coils, and jump rings. This class will show you how to make simple twisted wire links using a drill. We will also show you how to make jump rings using your 6-step looping pliers and a jeweler’s saw – so you don’t have to worry about running out of a certain size you may need ever again.
