Jorvik Viking Purse Class
This chain drawn string purse was inspired by Viking history of York, England. It’s a twist on leather pouches carried during the Viking era. Our warrior conquest will start with learning to make your own patterns and designs for the front and back panels using photo polymer plates. Then you will learn to make all-in-one “castle” knuckles and rivet a pin to secure it. Next, you will cut and punch soft supple sheep skin leather and attach it to form the clever purse bag. In the final step, a chain is threaded through the leather to make a functional purse.
