Using wire from start to finish, create a stunning necklace featuring a Viking knit chain. Dating back to the 8th century, Viking knit, also known as trichinopoly weave, is a technique traditionally used to create a strong, flexible chain to wear as jewelry or trim for clothing. Students learn how to: use a drawplate, manage thin gauge wire, create a wire-netted bezel (for a stone cabochon pendant), construct the Viking knit on a dowel, and make and attach the clasp. Previous wire-working experience is strongly recommended. A kit of materials is available to purchase from the instructor; please see the supply list for details.
