As part of the Bealtaine festival, celebrating the arts and creativity as we age, the National Museum of Ireland – Archaeology, presented a special online workshop about needle binding, which is a time correct textile technique for the Viking Age, with Ellen Hagen from the Museum of Archaeology at the University of Stavanger, Norway. During this online event, Ellen will present the history and uses of ‘Nålbindning’, or needle binding, and will demonstrate the technique for you to try at home. This online pre-recorded workshop was followed by a live online question and answer segment with Ellen Hagen.

This was recorded as a closed YouTube live event with a pre-recorded demonstration and live Q&A.

A full list of recommended materials required to do needle binding is available on the Museum's website along with information sheets, and instructions on how to do needle binding.

The instruction manual has kindly been made available by Ellen Hagen of the Museum of Archaeology, at the University of Stavanger, Norway.
