Viking Knit Bracelet Workshop
and Trunk Show
with Mimi Huszer from
The Lilac Wind Lampwork Beads

Workshop:
Saturday, May 22, from Noon-3pm
Class Fee:
$90.00 (includes bracelet kit)
We're pleased to have Guest Artist Mimi Huszer Fagnant teaching Viking Knit at Albion Beads! Mimi is an accomplished lampworker and bead artist. Viking knit is the process of weaving (wire looping) around a form with wire to create a chain. Viking knit dates back to the 8th century Scandinavia (the Viking era).
In this workshop, you'll learn the wire looping technique and complete a bracelet made with sterling silver wire and a lampworked bead, designed especially for these bracelets.
Kits include sterling silver wire, sterling silver findings and beads, instructions, tools and a lampworked bead made by Mimi. Come in to see our sample Viking knit bracelet!


Trunk Show:
Saturday, May 22, from 10:30am - 4pm
Mimi will also be selling her lampwork beads and finished jewelry.
