3069 - Zig Zag Byzantine Bracelet

[back to quicklinks]
$ 135 Plus $45 materials fee

Come explore the potential of silver jump rings and simple hand tools in this beaded chain workshop.  With a demonstration on how to wrap and hand-cut your own jump rings, we will assemble pre-cut silver jump rings into the age-old Byzantine chain.  This sequential chain pattern will then be embellished with gemstone beads in a zigzag pattern, as seen on the first book’s cover. Bracelets will be completed with student choice of forged s-clasp or magnetic clasp.  No experience necessary, you will leave with a bracelet on your wrist and a healthy hobby under your hat.

Supply List:

• beading mat, optivisor, and task lamp.
• Pliers: wire cutters, 2x flat-nose, 2x chain-nose (instructor will bring pliers to share).

Material Fee Includes:

• silver jump rings, clasp, beads, cable, crimps, and use of Swanstrom pliers.
