I am Andrew Smith - an artisan from AlgizRune Art Norse Pagan Arts Workshop - www.z-rune.com.
We specialize in crafting handmade, authentic Norse-style artworks that embody the spirit of Viking art, also known as Norse art. Our creations are inspired by the intricate and captivating designs that characterize this rich cultural heritage.
The Vikings possessed a remarkable talent for transforming everyday materials such as bone and wood into stunning pieces adorned with mesmerizing zoomorphic carvings. Additionally, their mastery extended to metalwork, with bronze and silver being primary materials used to craft exquisite jewelry and ornate artifacts.
What makes Norse art truly fascinating is its deep historical roots, dating back to the prehistoric times of the 6th to 5th millennium BC. During this era, snakes and serpents held great significance and were revered as companions and protectors, closely associated with the Mother Goddess, the earliest deity worshipped by ancient European farmers.
As dedicated researchers, we are actively engaged in projects centered around the preservation and recreation of ancient artifacts through experimental archaeology. This approach grants us invaluable insights into Viking technologies and techniques, allowing us to create historically authentic Viking-style artifacts. However, we also embrace the opportunity to innovate and produce unique contemporary pieces inspired by this rich cultural heritage.
By delving into the intricate world of Norse art and drawing upon our expertise in preservation and creation, we aim to celebrate and honor the legacy of the Vikings while breathing new life into their captivating artistic traditions.
