Craft a decorated copper arm cuff in the style of Viking jewellery. Discover how to use the technique ‘chasing and repoussé’ to make simple patterns on a band of copper, which will later be formed into an arm cuff. Work with heat, hammers and a variety of metal tools to create your designs. Learn about pitch, an important material used in chasing and repoussé as well as a tried and tested recipe to make it.
