This class will cover a multitude of chainmail weaves starting with beginner level projects that quickly work up into jewelry. Pace of the class will be determined by the class itself. Expect jewelry, gifts, a fidget, and a final project to be determined by the class. **All metals used shall be non-reactive and include: Anodized aluminum, stainless steel, and possibly a bit of titanium.
*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
