March teaching - part 3! Introduction to chainmaille jewellery

I taught a new weekend class at the Mary Ward Centre last month. It was Introduction to chainmaille jewellery . It was a fun class run over two Saturdays. It was popular so I will also be teaching a weekly daytime class in Chainmaille and beaded jewellery starting on Monday 12th May, 3-5.30pm ending on Monday 14th July. Classes do not run on bank holidays. The class is available for enrollment by phone on 020 7269 6000 (the centre is closed from 7th April - 21st April so there will be no answer during those times) . The course description is not currently on the website so if you are interested in enrolling please check after 21st April when the centre re-opens. Here are a few pieces made during the weekend class by my students

Chainmaille bracelet fun

Byzantine weave bracelet kit from Beadsisters I bought this chainmaille bracelet kit from Beadsisters when I was at the Scottish Bead Fair last weekend. I am finally back home (I didn't take my pliers to Scotland with me!) so I was able to make it. It took me a little while to get into the pattern (although it is an 'easy' pattern!) but I have enjoyed doing it. It is very effective and I love the coloured jump rings that Beadsisters sell. I suspect I shall be buying some more kits. But I'll stick to the easy ones for now!
