Workshop List

Yes, you can make your own silver links! In this class, you will be guided through the process of creating handmade silver chain links. Using silver wire, you will create a five link chain, and then attach it to a fine commercial chain. All steps will be carefully demonstrated and explained by an experienced and patient teacher. Skills covered in this class include cutting wire to length, using a hammer to texture the metal, filing edges, soldering, managing the flow of solder, protecting fine chain from excess heat during soldering, and finally polishing and finishing. Cost of the kit with all the materials needed will be $65 in addition to the class fee of $95. When you leave class, you will not only have successfully made your first chain necklace—but you will also take with you a comprehensive handout, with fully illustrated step-by-step instructions to help you get started in your home studio. If the time and date of the class you want to take is unavailable, please email the teacher, Vilina Hutter, at studiominerock@gmail.com. We will either make room or put you on a waitlist in case another student can’t make it. Please, no requests for refunds less than three days before the show, due to the planning needed for travel and supplies. NOTE: We provide all the tools and equipment for use in the class, and tools will be available for purchase if desired, to be delivered to your home address after the show.
