What goes great with crafting? A craft beer! Join me for a little class at Sylvan Brewery in Lanesboro, MN! Warm up your crafting muscles and enjoy a delicious beverage while we create this unique bracelet.

Description:

The dramatic landscape of northern Scandinavia is that of the midnight sun, northern lights and the Saami, a nomadic tribal group that follows the migration of the reindeer.  Traditional Saami jewelry incorporates elements of their northern landscape – softened reindeer leather, braided pewter wire and sculpted antler.  Discover this unique tradition with veteran instructor Liz Bucheit and create a beautiful bracelet in one day.

Beginning students will explore the traditional jewelry techniques of triple braiding, coiled pewter wire, and sewing the finished braid to a softened reindeer hide strip.  A reindeer button finishes off the bracelet fee. Students will choose from a variety of colored reindeer leather.

Maximum number of students: 12

All tools and notions for creating your bracelet will be provided but are not included in the
