Dina teacing Graduated Byzantine Necklace in Bright Copper rings!



Dina will discuss the importance of Aspect Ratio in making Chainmaille jewelry at the beginning of this class and show samples of appropriate AR and poor AR for Byzantine.  Some chainmaille experience is suggested though this could be done by an adventurous beginner.  You will not finish this project in class.  Kits will be provided.  It is suggested that you either arrive early for this class to "open" your rings or pick up a kit early and open rings prior to class so you won't use class time for prep work.  Bring your pliers to class is you have them (jewelry chain nose pliers- you need 2- you can use a flat nose and a chain nose, but sometimes the flat nose will interfere).  We have tools that you can use in class and tools for sale- remember that you get 10% off all your purchases on class day (classes will not be discounted). Cost of this class is $55 (quite a few rings with this project).

Instructor Bio:
Dina grew up in chicago, but started making jewelry while her husband was stationed in Hawaii in the 90's starting with basic stringing. She then started teaching whoever wanted to learn in North Carolina, Tennessee and California where she corrupted her sister with the bead fever. She's done theraputic beading to women involved in domestic violence. She eventually evolved to make chainmaille, viking knit and leather work (dying, stamping, braiding and other leatherwork). She is going to do a chainmaille weave series over the next several months along with various leather bracelets.
