Elfweave Braid

Title: Elfweave Braid
Skill Level: Intermediate
Dates/Times: Thursday, February 4, 1 pm - 4 pm
Fees: $85 includes kit materials in aluminum, copper or jewelry brass

Description: Elfweave is a lovely weave that is rarely seen in a "rope" form (vs. a sheet or cuff form) because the weave is not stable on its own. With this project, you'll learn how to create the instructor’s variation of Elfweave by adding additional rings to the back of the bracelet, thereby anchoring the weave in place. While conceptually this is an intermediate level project, some people may find it a bit difficult to work with the 16-gauge rings making it more of an Advanced-Intermediate level. Students who register by Jan 1 have the option to receive their kits via mail to complete at-home prep and ensure project completion during class.

Pre-requisite: Knowledge of at least 3 chainmaille weaves.

Tools needed: two flat nose pliers, bead mat or other soft work surface, task lamp

The kit includes full color step by step instructions, toggle clasp and enough jump rings in aluminum, copper or jewelry brass to complete an 8” bracelet.
