Class with
Pam Ihle
Saturday January 11th -- Viking Knit Bracelet
Viking Knit Bracelet
6 hour class
(Pam will be available on Sunday if you don’t finish on Saturday)
A chance to try something new! Make a beautiful bracelet by weaving with wire. The wire is copper core, non-tarnish
wire and there will be many colors to choose from. You will have the option of making your bracelet in 1, 2, or 3 colors
and there will be several base metal choices as well. This is small work, so if you need to wear reading glasses, you will
want to bring them and if you have a desk OTT light, it will be helpful. You will be provided with a mandrel that you do
the weaving on and there will be drawplates available for your use in class. If you want to keep them, you can purchase
one from the teacher. You can also purchase additional materials if you want to make more bracelets outside of class.
Class, prep & material fee: $40
