About this title

Synopsis

Since its publication in 1997, "Classical Chains" has become a classic in it's own right. Clear step-by-step instructions will lead you through a total of 38 chain styles, all derived from the elegant loop-in-loop process.

With 350 drawings and 45 photographs, this is clearly the definitive work on this topic. Ms. Stark brings years of teaching and experimentation to this popular book. In straightforward language she discusses not only the making of chains, but clasps and terminals too. The Brynmorgen edition includes two dozen additions to the original text by the author. This new deluxe edition features a lay-flat spiral binding and a hard covera practical binding for a book heralded widely as the ultimate guide to these versatile chains.
