Making Decorative Cord on a Lucet
Viking women so treasured their lucets that they were buried with them. While you may not feel
so strongly about your lucet, you will enjoy this class with Nancy and Dick Enstad. Long-time educators and artisans, the Enstads received the 2003 Volunteer of the Year Award from the Science Museum of Minnesota for their involvement with the Smithsonian Viking exhibit.
This will be an opportunity to use a snorgaffel, more commonly referred to as a lucet.
This tuning-fork-shaped tool dates back to the Viking period. It was used to make a durable, stretchy, square cord that was used to bind clothing and cloth containers. The cord is a combination of the useful and the decorative. Costumers, (need some really strong bodice lacing?), re-enactors, and people who enjoy true DIY will find this class particularly informative.
Practice yarn will be provided. Bring you own strong, even, heavy thread or smooth yarn. Material will also be available for purchase from Ingebretsens. Lucets will be available for purchase from the instructor for $15-30 dollars. Class fee: $20
Saturday, May 12 9:30 to 12:30 Cancelled. Will be rescheduled in the fall.
