EUROPEAN FOUR IN ONE (Chain Maille)
**
I have always wanted to do this pattern and for some reason never got
around to it. I suppose I just wasn’t supposed to teach it till
now. Anyway, this is a very cool weave. I would recommend that you have
some chain maille experience. Due to the way the rings lay in this pattern,
there will be a clasp included in the kit along with the rings.

and $70 for 8” - includes rings and clasp

better things. In this class, you will be introduced to PMC and we will

and create! We will demo torch firing, touch on all the basics and we

no sizing issues!! Intro to PMC is a prerequisite. (You may have either
taken the intro class from Dawn or from us.) We will provide textures
and punches. Feel free to bring your own also. Make sure they are well
marked as yours. You will be responsible for bringing your own
