Bias Dragonscale Weave

This live, virtual workshop will teach student how to complete the Bias Dragonscale weave through the creation of a bracelet and/or necklace. Weaving Dragonscale on the bias gives the weave a very fluid drape that enhances the fit and visual appeal of your pieces. Due to the complexity and density of the weave, it is recommended that students learn using anodized aluminum. The techniques learned in class can also be applied to precious metals. Students will receive a comprehensive color PDF file with instructions to make both the bracelet and necklace.

It is assumed that all students who enroll are proficient weavers (can properly open/close jump rings and use pliers), know the difference between Through-the-Eye and Around-the-Eye connections, and understand gauge, inner/outer diameter, and aspect ratio. Students should be comfortable working with complex weave patterns, adjusting patterns for length and making clasp attachments. Ability to construct European 4-in-1 and Helm Chain is required.

This course will consist of two sessions. There will be a no-class day between each session.

Class will be held live via Zoom during the designated time frame. A link to the Zoom room will be sent via email. 

Each session will be recorded and you will receive a password protected link to the recordings that expire after 30 days.
