Chainmaille is an ancient art form in continuous use for centuries. Learn this art using contemporary tools and techniques. Open to students of all skill levels, the course is designed to take the student from fundamentals of ring fabrication through construction of both simple and complex patterns to produce stunning designs. Students learn weaves from the European, Japanese, Persian, orbital, and spiral families, plus will explore combining techniques to create unique creations. The use of a jeweler's saw, drill and sheet metal to construct simple clasps and embellishments will also be introduced. Supplies for the first class are provided. Students with previous experience will work with guidance from the instructor.
