Marlene Vail, Events Coordinator for Bead & Button show in Milwaukee, posted this teaser in the November newsletter about their June event. Registration starts on January 15.	B08267 Beaded Flower Chain Bracelet	Scott David Plumlee will teach you to apply a variety of innovative wire to pier bead setting techniques in this one-day cold-connection class where students will complete an 8-inch beaded flower chain bracelet. Bypassing the need for a hot-torch, students will utilize simple hand tools to hold gemstone beads on argentium silver wire and then set them into a dynamic chain design composed of flush-cut and tumbled argentium sterling silver jump rings. Bracelets will be completed with your choice of a super-strong magnetic clasp or a traditional hand-forged s-clasp; both clasping techniques will be demonstrated. Some basic chain working knowledge is helpful, but no experience is required. This class is offered Thursday, June 5, 8:00-3:00pm.
