Making Chainmaille with Patrik Ober

I recently took an awesome one day class on making Chainmalle at Adornment Craft Center and Gallery in Baltimore (http://www.adornment.net/ formerly Made in Metal). The instructor, Patrick Ober, is a fantastic teacher and an extremely talented metalsmith. You can check out his stuff at his etsy shop http://www.armourer.etsy.com/, he has really fabulous pieces! Making chainmaille was a bit harder than I thought it would be, but I was finally able to complete a bracelet (European 4 in 1) that I'm proud of and wear every day. If you've ever been interested in learning how to make Chainmaille, I highly recommend taking a class with Patrick Ober. Contact Adornment for the workshop schedule.
