Learn the classic European 4in1 chainmail weave and make a bracelet.

Workshop Content

This workshop is an introduction to the classic European 4in1 chainmail weave and additional background information about the craft itself. The piece we are making is a bracelet that is adjustable to many sizes. We will be using stainless steel rings and pliers. All materials and tools are provided.

Suitability/Requirements

This workshop is for everyone (18+ years), who is curious to learn to work with chainmail and is therefore suitable for beginners or people who would like to learn this particular weave. There is a certain dexterity and hand strength required.

Snacks and Drinks

There will be a selection of teas, squash and coffee. There will be some biscuits as well. Everything is vegan and nut-free.

Accessibility

There are five steps to access the venue. The lift at the venue just got decommissioned, so I am afraid that there is no wheelchair/step free access to the venue at the moment. All future events will be accessible. I am really sorry for that. More informaiton about toilets below in the FAQ.
