The Victorian era was known for its morbid sentimentality, and few art forms expressed this impulse more intimately than ornamental hairwork. Jewelry, wreaths, bouquets, and framed compositions made from a loved one’s hair allowed mourners to preserve a tangible human relic: an object of attachment, memory, and grief. Join master jeweler and art historian Karen Bachmann for an in-person class introducing students to the history and techniques of Victorian hairwork through close looking, demonstration, and hands-on making.
