Hosted by Mickey Alice Kwapis in her lovely studio in Pilsen, Chicago!

This one-day workshop taught by guest teacher Zen Hansen will begin with a journey through the tradition of Victorian-era hairwork jewelry with a focus on its roots in Chicago. The workshop will combine demonstration with hands-on work as students watch and then practice using a specially made hair-braiding table to try their hand at braiding patterns translated from original texts written by renowned hair jeweler Mark Campbell. No experience is necessary. Students will gain a deep understanding of this historic and now endangered craft.
