This course will focus exclusively on two armor weaves that form the basis of the two most common armor families. Japanese 6-in-1 and European 4-in-1.

Rings will be supplied for each student to be able to create a sample patch in each weave which can later be expanded and included in a full armor piece. Limit 10
