Chain Maille Open Studio
You've asked for it, so here it is…Chain Maille (and Scale Maille) Open Studio! This class is designed for students with some chain maille experience who would like help finishing current projects, beginning new projects, improving techniques, troubleshooting weaves, or simply working on personal projects while spending time with other maillers. Bring your supplies, tools, UFOs and project ideas.
Students should email the office once they have registered to inform us of what weave they are interested in working on, so the instructor can be prepared for each students' needs.
