Viking knit is a form of art practiced by the Norse people as far back as the 8th century and by the people of Iceland and Demark as far back as the 1st century BC. Viking Knit is a weaving technique that produces a tubular chain with a knit-like pattern upon completion. Jewelry and clothing articles in both metal wire and cloth fibers can be completed with this method. This class will give you all the detailed instructions you need to complete a beautiful bracelet or a necklace.
All materials to create one piece included in the cost of tuition, along with use of tools during the class time (to be returned to instructor at the end of class)
