Chain Mail Sheets for Costumes, Garments, & More, Friday 1/22

from $65.00

Description: This workshop is for those who want to make wearable articles whether its for a Renaissance Faire costume, a chain mail bikini, jewelry like a bracelet or choker, or even a dice bag. Students will earn the European 4-in1 weave, which is a foundational Chain Mail weave historically used in armor. It is also the basis for other weaves, such as the Dragonback weave (pictured).

We will have snacks and sparkling water available. This event is also BYOB. Feel free to bring your favorite beverage to enjoy while crafting. We have glasses available, no need to bring disposables.

When: Friday, 1/22 6pm-9pm

Skills taught: You will learn the proper way to use pliers to manipulate jump rings, the European 4-in-1 weave, and how to make Chain Mail sheets.

Skills needed: No previous classes or knowledge is required!

Supplies used: All supplies will be provided by CraftNation and will include a pair of pliers and jump rings, both of which will be available for purchase after class if you’d like to continue your chainmail journey!

What you’ll leave with: Time permitting, some students may be able to finish a bracelet or choker. At the very least, students will leave with a sheet of chainmail they’ve made, and the skills to craft something independently.

Meet your teacher: Nox Wulong (they/them) is a Philly based nonbinary artist, metalworker, sculptor, and jeweler. They create jewelry, accessories, armor, sculpture, tools and weapons from their fiery passion for metals and minerals, for fire and wire. You can find Nox on Instagram.

All workshops at CraftNation are offered at a sliding scale. For guidance on which price you should pay, please see our Sliding Scale page.
