Lynette Andreasen | Can’t Pin Me Down: pinned chain earrings | Monday, January 31, 2022 | 6 pm until 9 pm
$95.00
In this class students will learn to create beautiful earrings made from pinned chain elements.
Sheet metal chain elements will be cut either by hand with a jewelers saw, or with pancake dies in the hydraulic press.
Students will learn “pinning” – balling up a wire on either side of the chain elements as well as pinning beads made from glass, stone, shell etc.
Using the pinning technique, students will be able to attach glass, stone, shell, or other materials to their pieces with heat and without ruining the beads.
These earrings have great movement and the pinning technique is very versatile for other jewelry applications!
