Viking knit is such a versatile skill to add to your jewelry book! It can be a very open weave that can hold beads, a very tight fine weave for special pendants, a thick tight weave for very masculine bracelets. It can even be done with leather for a great look!
Adding handmade silver beads to this weave just takes it away above the standard! You will learn to cut the correct size disc and hole for your weave, doming the bead and soldering it together (if you are not familiar with soldering, register for my soldering class to make you so confident in this skill!)
And finally, you will learn how to finish the bracelet with a proper endcap and clasp or toggle.
Materials Fee $60 paid at beginning of class includes:

assorted wires for project, sterling silver for beads, endcaps and solder and butane. Use of necessary tools to complete this project.

 

Supplies Needed  to bring for Class:

Basic jewelry pliers (smooth jaw flat nose, chain nose, round nose and flush cutters. Jewelry files cut #2 or equivalent. Small butane torch (butane is provided in class).
