Learn the basics of Chainmail – the art of linking jump rings into a specific pattern, most commonly the European 4-in-1 weave, where each ring passes through four others to create a flexible sheet of armor or decorative fabric.
When registering, students can choose to make a beautiful bracelet or functional pot scrubber.
Bracelet: students will have the opportunity to make their own bracelet by learning and applying the Byzantine weave or European 4 in 1. Students will use jump rings and small tools to create their own wearable piece of art. Choose from a wide variety of colors and add a personalized touch to your jewelry collection. These projects are great to keep for yourself or gift to others!
Pot Scrubber: students will receive the instructions, rings, and pliers necessary to learn the European 4-1 Chainmaille Technique and create their own Pot Scrubber (approx. 4” x 4”). Students will begin this project in class to fully understand the process. At the end of the session, students will take all materials with them to finish their project at home in their own time.
All safety equipment, tools, and materials are included in the tuition.
No prior experience or training is needed to attend. This class is suitable for students ages 13 years and above. Minors must be accompanied by an adult.
