Come along and learn the art of chainmaille, with this session focusing on my go to: the byzantine weave.
Session 1: 11:30am - 2:00pm
Session 2: 3pm - 5:30pm
You’ll learn how to work with individual metal rings to create your own piece of chainmaille, developing skills in opening and closing rings, following a weave pattern and building up the distinctive byzantine design.
By the end of the workshop you could have various lengths of chain, or create smaller chains to make keyrings, earrings or anything you desire!
It’s a hands-on workshop that’s all about patience, creativity and discovering how a simple collection of rings can become something really special.
This workshop is best suited to people who already have some experience using jump rings and pliers, as we’ll be working with small rings and focusing on the byzantine weave rather than the very basics of handling your tools. you don’t need to be an expert, just comfortable opening, closing and connecting jump rings.
no previous chainmaille experience is needed, but having some basic jewellery-making or jump ring skills will make the session much more enjoyable and accessible.
Everyone is welcome to come along, get creative and have a go! ♡
