Norse art traditions began during the Ice Age and Neolithic times. What we know as Viking Age Pagan art represents the highest level of Norse art development and is the result of interactions with other European and Asian cultures.
During the Viking Age, the Norse people were practical, and many symbols found on historical Viking jewelry symbolize divine protection. Norse art is characterized by the extraordinary ornamentation of everyday objects. Even minor items were elaborately and artistically decorated with runes, zoomorphic motifs, and other designs.
High-status Viking weapons, such as kings’ swords, axes, and spears, were often decorated by cutting grooves into the iron axehead and then pounding contrasting silver wire into the grooves to create intricate designs.
Many things changed after the Vikings adopted Christianity, but that’s another story.
At Algiz-Rune Workshop, we work hard to recreate and preserve the crafts and traditions of the brave Norse people!

”The friendly service was like catching up with old friends! The quality in your goods was top notch and overall, I enjoyed the what seemed like an hour, but was most likely at least 20 to 30 min looking & learning about your products! I'm from Ontario, so I will add this extra market to my list of reasons to come to Calgary and definitely make room for "bring backs"! Thanks 😊.
