Description:
Scale maille is a cool new twist on chainmaille, and in this workshop you'll learn the pattern to make this stunning weave. With some patience and the provided materials, you'll learn how to work with the right sizes of rings and scales to make your own piece of custom armor. Full color instructions and kits will be provided. Pliers will be available for use in class.
This class will teach you how to make an intricate scale maille bracelet and techniques for making larger armor pieces.
Description:
This class is for anyone who has ever wanted to tackle the tactile, snakelike scale maille weave. This class will teach you to make a spiky scale maille bracelet, but you will learn techniques for making larger applications such as gauntlets and armor pieces. My own vest and jacket will be brought in as a reference for more ambitious students. For examples of my chain maille armor and jewelry, see my website: http://www.kalibutterfly.com.
