In this course, students will improve their chain making skills by learning to craft their own curb chain in brass. Curb chains are typically made of thicker material than other styles, so crafting one will help to elevate your ability to shape and solder metal. The class will also cover finishing touches such as crafting end-caps and s-hooks, and polishing. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrerequisite: Metals + Jewelry 1 or equivalent experience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e $295\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003eincludes a $25 materials fee\u003c\/strong\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ci\u003eTuition and fees for classes at the Baltimore Jewelry Center are subsidized in large part by grants and contributions from our community.
