Turn copper wire into wearable art while learning a centuries-old technique at Jewelry 101: Viking Weaving. Instructor Billie Theide will share information about this ancient process as students fabricate a tubular copper chain resulting in a flexible and lightweight bracelet or necklace. Students will make handmade decorative end caps and a closure from heavier gauge round copper wire. The chain can remain copper in color or patinated to take on a rich coloration from warm light brown to black.
Students will receive a toolkit to enable them to continue working at home.
$120/person. Registration closes on Sept. 20 or when capacity is reached. All sales are final.
