Instructor Bio: 

Diana works full time in data and finance but has always indulged her creative side. She is a self taught chainmailler who discovered her passion for the art during the early days of the pandemic. She enjoys pushing the boundaries of chainmaille design with original creations and tutorials, which can be found on her Etsy site at https://www.etsy.com/shop/IntricateHeartStudio. All creations are quality checked by her cat and preschooler. 

Location: 

1st Floor Room

This educational room has seating and tables suitable for instruction away from the noise of the main workshop. It is located on the first floor of 770 Chapel Street. Guests should ring the MakeHaven doorbell, then proceed down the long hallway. When you get the main MakeHaven staircase by the double elevators, rather than go downstairs, proceed through the double glass doors, take a right down the hallway and you will see a room with a big robot sticker on the door.
