About this Event
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.
