Historic Hairwork - Table Braiding Workshop

Jewellery made with real human hair was common in Queen Victoria's time, yet the skill has nearly vanished today. Join hairwork artist and Hair Anthropology founder Zen Hansen for a hands-on workshop introducing the foundations of table braiding. This historic technique uses long hair, weighted bobbins, and a specially designed braiding table to create intricate jewellery.
