Learn about different gauges of metal, how to anneal (soften) metal, bend it and make uniform jump rings that will become the components of your chain. Topics include soldering, hammering, sanding and polishing our chains. Participants will leave with a new shiny treasure and a comprehensive set of jewelry skills to build on. Copper and brass sheet and wire in several thicknesses are provided with the course fee. Sterling silver is not provided but is available to purchase separately. Hand strength is required.
