In the past, many people mourned their loved ones by creating jewellery from their hair, turning it into a tangible expression of grief and devotion. If you’ve ever wondered how this work was done, join us during the Victoria Day long weekend for a live demonstration with hairwork artist Zen Hansen to see how these remarkable pieces were made using historic techniques.
