SUMMARY:Chain Making Two-Day Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This two-day workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of chain making\, exploring how repeating handmade links create both structure and visual rhythm. Through demonstrations and guided practice\, students will learn essential metalsmithing techniques while constructing a functional chain that can be worn or used as an accessory. By the end of the session\, participants will leave with a completed chain that can be worn as a necklace or bracelet\, or used as a keychain.  \n In this workshop\, you will:  \n\nForm consistent jump rings from metal wire. \n\n\nSaw and cut rings for clean\, precise links. \n\n\nSolder jump rings closed to create a continuous chain. \n\n\nExperiment with surface textures and finishes. \n\n\nFabricate a simple functional closure. \n\nREGISTRATION FORM \nInstructor: Pavonis Giron\, who earned a BFA in Metalsmithing and Sculpture from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee\, works closely with material and structure and aims to create an open\, supportive environment for sharing process and experimentation.  \nInstructor Language: English/Spanish  \n Skill Level: This workshop is open to beginners and advanced students\, age 18+.  \nMax. participants: 7  \n Location: Metalsmithing department of Cranbrook Academy of Art in the New Studios Building.  \nParking: Cranbrook Art Museum Parking Lot.  \n Dates: Thursday\, July 23 and Friday\, July 24\, 2026  \n Time: 10am–2pm each day  \n Food/Beverage: Snacks provided. The Academy also has water bottle refill stations and vending machines near the Metalsmithing department.  \n Cost: $600.00 USD total\, for both days* Materials included   \n *If the workshop does not meet the minimum number of participants\, it will be canceled\, and any purchases will be fully refunded.
