Viking Weave Bracelet Workshop

In this workshop you will make your own Viking weave bracelet. This will teach you how to produce a length of Viking weave, make fittings for the ends as well as a clasp. All tools and materials are included in the price.

Nearly 1,300 years ago, Vikings used long pieces of silver and gold wire to weave ropes.  These woven wire ropes were then stretched and made into jewellery. This wire weaving is called Viking weave (or trichinopoly chain).This chain was used as currency where it was cut into lengths.
