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.

Please read our class policies before signing up for a private lesson.

A one hour lesson includes full-color instructions for up to 2 projects (2 hours, up to 4 projects, etc), but jump rings are NOT included. You may purchase jump rings before and/or after your lesson; save 10% on all purchases of sterling silver rings and kits and 15% on base metal jump rings and kits purchased on class day.

We have a one-hour minimum for lessons, which must be paid in full when you sign up for the lesson. After the first hour, the fee is billed in 15-minute increments which can be paid upon completion of your lesson, along with any supplies you've purchased. Maximum lesson length is 4 hours.

You may bring your own jump rings to use, but if the instructor must spend time making sure the rings will work for the weave, that time will count as part of your lesson.

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.
