Blue Buddha Boutique -- Chainmaille Classes

Classes: Descriptions - Calendar - Teaching Locations & Registration - Private Lessons - Newsletter

Learn chainmaille at your own pace, or with a group of friends, in a relaxed, comfortable environment.

If you can't make it to any of our public classes, or want to learn a weave not currently offered, you can customize your own lesson, scheduled at a time convenient for you.

One-on-one private lessons are our most exclusive offering, allowing you to make the most of your time. You'll learn only the weaves you want to learn, all at a pace that is comfortable to you. Or, if you and a few of your friends want to learn the same weave(s), We'll be happy to create a lesson custom-tailored to your needs.

A one or two hour lesson includes enough jump rings for your project, up to a maximum of 250 (aluminum, copper, jewelry brass or anodized aluminum), and a clasp. Three- and four-hour lessons include twice as many rings and two clasps. Depending on the class, full-color tutorials may be distributed. Additionally, on days you take lessons at our studio, save 10% on purchases of sterling silver rings and 15% on base metal jump rings and findings. We have a one-hour minimum for lessons, and after that, the fee is billed in 15-minute increments. Maximum lesson length is 4 hours.

To schedule a lesson, please contact us. The classes are held at our studio in Chicago's Albany Park neighborhood (see locations page for address and a map). If you prefer, and depending on where you live, the lesson(s) can be conducted at your home (a transportation fee applies, usually between $10-$15) or at one of our usual teaching locations.
