New chain maille class on Sat. Feb. 20th
Basic Chain Maille in Rubber and Aluminum
Date: Saturday, February 20th, from 1-4 PM
Location: PLG workshop, 169 Defense Highway (lower level) Annapolis, MD.
Description: Use inexpensive materials to create a simple pair of earrings (not pictured) and three fun and funky bracelets! Learn how to properly open and close anodized aluminum jump rings, and use them to connect non-latex rubber o-rings. Each item will be made using black rubber o-rings and students will have a choice of two different colors of aluminum rings for each design.
Fees: $20, payable in cash or by check made out to the PLG. Materials for each bracelet can be purchased CASH ONLY the day of class. Cost for all four items is $15, and additional kits will be available for purchase as well.
Requirements: Students are required to bring two pairs of non-serrated jewelry pliers, one of which MUST be straight chain-nose for use in stretching the rubber o-rings. The other pair can be flat-nose, bent chain-nose, or whatever you like. Pliers can be purchased at any craft store (Michael’s or A.C. Moore) or bead store (Bead Depot in Glen Burnie, Gotta Luv Beads in Severna Park) for between $5 and $7. Please contact the instructor with any questions about pliers.
