Native Makers Lucceting Workshop: Create a Handmade Friendship Bracelet

Details of the event: Discover the ancient art of lucetting and learn how to create your own beautiful friendship bracelet at the Native Makers Winter Market.

Using a traditional wooden tool called a lucet, you'll be guided through this historic weaving technique that dates back to the Viking era. Once used to create practical and decorative cords, lucetting is a mindful and rewarding craft that has been enjoyed for centuries.

Led by Cornwall-based textile artist and workshop tutor Lorraine England, this hands-on session is perfect for beginners and those curious about traditional crafts. Working with natural and recycled fibres, you'll learn the basics of lucetting and create a unique friendship bracelet to take home.

Lorraine has been teaching lucetting for over a decade and is passionate about sustainable making, sharing not only the craft itself but also the stories behind the materials she uses.
