Dragonscale Chainmaille Bracelet (2 sessions)

Challenge your chainmaille skills with this beautiful bracelet!

Just – wow. Dragonscale is the most dramatic, tactile and all-out impressive of all the chainmaille weaves. It is lavishly complex in appearance, but not as hard as it looks – promise!

This is a two-part class so we can cover the finishing and clasp in a short (1 hour) second session.

This class will be held in two sessions: Thursday, April 15, 6:00 – 8:00pm; and Thursday, April 22, 6:30 – 7:30pm.
