1,000 years ago a Viking Lady of great standing inherited an heirloom which had been passed down through the family line for 500 years. The beads were purchased over half a Millennium through trade during ‘Viking’ journeys across Europe. When ‘The Pagan Lady’ died, this precious necklace was buried with her. Archaeologists discovered her remains in the Isle of Man, and Julie Anne Denton was commissioned by Manx National Heritage to study and recreate this 52 bead necklace. It consists of 6 amber beads, 44 glass, one jet and one faience. Julie would like to share the techniques developed from this exciting project with the wider glass Community as well as the history surrounding the Pagan Lady, her story and how the beads where originally created. Julie will show you how to age beads, make 1,500 year old murrini, mix your own colours, use glass enamels and powders and mimic aged amber. No matter what your skill level, by the end of this class you will leave with your own replica Pagan Lady necklace. Course price includes all gas and glass. Sterling silver components for necklace available to pre-order if required at £16 or you are welcome to bring your own fittings if preferred. dates: see 'book online' below
