Ross Community Center, Pittsburgh, PA
This
class will teach beginning students to
make intricate chains in the manner of the Vikings and other ancient cultures,
without the need for heat or complicated tools.
With
the techniques presented, you will learn to create items like the ones found in
Viking burials and treasure hoards across the Nordic countries dating from the 9th
century to the late 12th century.
Wire chains made in this fashion have also been discovered in the British
Isles (875 AD) and in the Roman, Greek and Byzantine civilizations from the 4th
century BC to the 1st century AD.
Timeless items can be created that are still beautiful and
wearable today.
