We know you are coming from all over the country – the world really – and

We’ll grab a table or two in the AZul Bar right above our classroom area, and

let the fun begin!

Grab a snack or a beverage from the AZul cash bar, and

learn this fun and easy way of making a beautiful rope chain.


An evening of relaxation, building, linking, creating

Chain making in the chainmaille style.

Linking together to form a gorgeous rope chain.
