Learn to weave metal the way the Vikings did. In this jam packed workshop, participants will learn the ancient method of Viking Knit metal weaving to create your own unique bracelet. Lots of variety of wire colours and findings (clasps, etc). If you choose to use silver coloured wire, you have an option to include coloured beads inside the bracelet.
All materials and tools will be supplied. Participants who prefer to use their own craft pliers and cutters are welcome to bring them along.
Small classes and lots of individual attention. Breaks are at your discretion. Bring a lunch, drink or snacks, if required.
About Kenna McCall
I extract natural works of art from the Earth through the canvas of stone and interpret them into wearable art forms. I design and create unique artistically styled jewellery with rare and local gemstones, many of which I collect, cut and polish myself. For those stones collected by others, I make it a point to learn about where the stones originate and how they are extracted to ensure ethical and environmental responsibility. I use only Canadian silver in my designs to guarantee quality, authenticity and safety of the metal. As a woman of Celtic origin, I have visited many sacred sites in Great Britain and have learned some of the crafts that were practiced many centuries ago. I conduct my life in a manner which is respectful to humanity and the earth. I have also worked for many years to address societal inequalities, particularly for women and children. I have always considered myself as an activist and advocate for equality, fairness and respect for women and the earth from mainstream institutions.
