The Völund Stones: retelling Weland the Smith by Andy B on Friday, 28 July 2017

The Völund Stones: Weland the Smith - Hannah Sackett and Professor Howard Williams
Project Overview

The "Völund Stones: Weland the Smith" is a work in progress. It is the cover artwork and opening pages of an eight page comic retelling the story of Weland the Smith. This project draws on a collection of early medieval artefacts and carvings in order to retell the story of Weland (or Völundr) the smith.

This retelling emphasises the complexity of the smith’s identity including his cyborgian character as a transformer of things and a transformer of self.
