Join us in the AX Workshop Room on September 19 from 1–4pm for a Chainmail Earrings workshop with Ann Filmore!
In this 3-hour workshop, participants will learn how to create two different styles of sterling silver chainmail earrings, beginning with the delicate Möbius Flower and finishing with the intricate Byzantine Capture.
Students will work from pre-made kits and learn the techniques needed to assemble each design. You’ll also have the option to modify the patterns and make the designs your own!
No previous experience is required, making this a great workshop for beginners and anyone looking to try something new. Each participant will leave with one pair of Möbius Flower earrings and one pair of Byzantine Capture earrings to wear or gift.
All materials provided. Spaces are limited.
About the Instructor
Born in Bathurst, Ann has called the Fredericton / Grand Lake area home since 1985. Her studio is in Flowers Cove on Grand Lake. After a 30+ year science based career with the Federal Government, she retired and enrolled in the jewelry / metal arts program at NBCCD Fredericton. She has also participated in a number of lapidary workshops.
A fusion of Celtic and south-west best describes her jewelry style. She is influenced by the works of her ancestors, specifically the Vikings and Celts, as well as the style of the Native Americans of the US south west. She incorporates historical techniques such as viking weave and chainmail when making jewelry. Various hammers and files are used to create texture on metal.
Ann likes to incorporate non conventionally shaped stones into her jewelry. Her favourite stone is turquoise but she collects rocks and stones wherever she travels. To her, it is amazing to reveal the inner secrets and beauty of a stone during the process of cutting and polishing.
Ann has been juried by Craft NB. Pieces of Ann’s work can be found at Gallery 78 and Gallery on Queen in Fredericton and Handworks Gallery in Saint John. Ann also enjoys working one on one with clients to create unique personalized pieces of jewelry.
