Chainmaille is an ancient art form used for flexible armor, found as far back as the 5th century BC in Scythia (an area between Europe and Asia). Using small pliers in each hand to open and close metal rings around each other, we form a pattern. The helm weave is a basic weave that is the basis for many different weaves. Jessica will show you how to properly open and close jump rings and weave them into a beautiful helm chain bracelet. You will be able to choose between stainless steel and/or several colors of anodized aluminum to make your bracelet the length you need. All supplies included.

I create one of a kind stainless steel chainmaille jewelry. Chainmaille is made by weaving different sized metal rings around each other to form a pattern, I then take that pattern and add different sized rings, natural stones, Swarovski crystals, or delicate chains to make a unique statement piece. I use stainless steel because it is strong, durable, hypoallergenic, will never rust, tarnish, change color, or make your skin change color. My jewelry is a mix of medieval, industrial, gothic and punk.
