Chain Mail Classes All November Long At Hammerspace

EVERY Tuesday night, 6-9pm at HammerSpace: Learn the ancient art of Chain Mailing from local Chain Mail Expert, Monte. Chainmail (aka: chainmaille, chain mail, chain maille, maille or mail)
is made up of a pattern (called a weave) of interlocking rings. Because
the design tends to spread the force of an edged weapon (a sword or axe,
for example) over a wider area, chainmail was historically used as
armor (see warnings below). Today it may be used for costuming,
reenactment, or in jewelry, belts, or other decorative pieces. Fine
chainmail is still used for suits that resist shark bites.
