Sir Jocelyn Achard (Nikki Steninger) Master Dragon, fibre-arts addict, Clan A&S competition organizer. Lord Squire Eronim Faitzhand (Charles Weston Fitzgerald) from the Duchy of Darkmoon in the Empire of the Iron Mountains. I've been in amtgard for not quite 4 years (as of clan). I started doing chainmaille because I wanted to learn to make armor for myself. That was very quickly put to the side when I discovered just how fun the jewelry side of the art was. Both of the classes I'll be teaching are designed for those with little to no experience and nothing will be required to be able to participate. For my armor course I would recommend bringing your own pliers because steel isn't friendly on the hands to work with but I will have sets available. If you desire to supply your own tools and/or materials feel free to contact me and I can let you know what you'll need and give my recommendations on what would make a good starting set. Baronette Illeria (...
