Adult Workshop: Viking Chain Metal Jewelry- with Paris Muchanic

Saturday, January 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Viking Chain is an ancient technique developed by Nordic sailors. It’s a flexible weave of wire that creates a beautiful chevron pattern. Dress it up with delicate fine wire for an omega chain necklace with a focal pendant or dress it down with the warmth of copper in this bracelet.  You’ll learn everything you need to know to make your own completed projects at home with basic hand tools.
