Learn to make this Viking and Celtic inspired bracelet using wire and a variety of techniques with this in depth class. Combining the ancient art of Viking knit with the robust look of the torcs of the Icini tribes, this bracelet makes a real statement!

This design combines many techniques and components, that can be used for different applications in your jewellery making, including:
• Double Viking knit
• Forming a bead cage
• Creating wire end caps
• Forging a hook clasp and link
• Forming a core wire for a bracelet
As well as the main design, included at the end of this tutorial are details for wire lengths required for different sizes beads, attaching a new wire to the weave with an invisible join and some variations on the design.

Although this is a more advanced design, due mainly to the length of wire you will be working with as well as the amount of components involved, a confident student will have no problem completing it. The techniques and design are taught in their entirety, leaving no room for guesswork. However, previous knowledge of single Viking is required (part 1 of the course)

Additional Tools from part 1:

• Oval bracelet mandrel
• Rawhide mallet
• Needle/pin
• Flat needle file
• Sanding pads 3 grits, 180, 220 and 280

Tea and coffee are included. Please bring your own lunch, or there is a wonderful café onsite.
