Have you been considering picking up a new craft? Come learn the art of chainmailling! Whether you are enamored by the clink of medieval armor, or simply want to accent your fashion with a new statement piece, chainmailling will open up a brand new world of creative possibilities!
Our 101 class will cover the fundamentals of chainmail. You will learn how to use pliers to open and close rings cleanly, how to identify ring sizes and gauges for various projects, and how to weave a basic European 4-in-1 pattern. This weave is one of the most versatile, and is used for everything from jewelry to wall hangings to armor. At the end of the class you will have a completed bracelet or other small project that you will be able to take home with you!
All tools and materials will be provided onsite.
This craft requires repetitive wrist movements and the ability to grip a pair of pliers in each hand for an extended period of time.
