MAKE: Beaded Viking Weave

MAKE: Beaded Viking Weave

Skill Level: Beginner–Intermediate
Break: A 30‑minute break is included

Discover the ancient art of Viking Wire Weave—a technique that uses coiled or knitted wire wrapped around a mandrel to create a flexible, textured tube. Once woven, the wire can be shaped into bracelets, pendants, chains, and other decorative pieces.

This class goes beyond the basics by exploring creative ways to embellish your weave. You’ll learn how to:

• Add beads directly into the weave for integrated sparkle
• Thread beads inside the finished tube for a subtle, peek‑a‑boo shimmer
• Experiment with design variations that open up endless creative possibilities

Whether you’re new to wire weaving or looking to expand your skills, this session offers hands‑on guidance and plenty of room for personal expression.

Instructor Bio: "As a mostly self-taught artist, I understand how difficult it can be to get started on developing necessary skills to create your own wearable works of art.

I have been dabbling with a wide range of art and craft projects all my life, and have always gravitated back to handmade jewelry and working with wire. I have been making jewelry since 2000 and my favorite technique is the Viking Wire Weave (Knit) which I learned at the University of Ithra through the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) in 1998.

I discovered that I love teaching others and have done so since 2001. I am most inspired by helping others discover and develop their own creativity and hope to bring inspiration to those just beginning their artistic journey." - - Check out her online shop!
