Chainmail 101

The craft of making stuff out of interlocking rings is over 2000 years old, and now you have a chance to keep it going through the modern age. Whether you're interested in making shiny decorations or a full set of badass armor, this class will give you the basics to get you on your way.

You will learn:

• The tricks of manipulating jump rings (not as easy as it may seem!).
• One or two basic chainmail weave patterns.
• A lot of facts about the history of the craft.

You will make:

• A decorative item approximately the size of a bracelet.

This class is great for: Cosplayers, medieval enthusiasts, jewelers, fashionistas, knitters, and anyone getting into crafts and metalwork.

Things to bring: Tools and supplies will be provided, but you may want to bring two sets of small smooth-jawed pliers, and light work gloves.

This is a masks optional class.
