July 23rd in Cheraw: Discover Kumihimo – The Art of Japanese Weaving



Discover Kumihimo – The Art of Japanese Weaving

Participants will learn the basics of an 8 strand kumihimo round braid in this fun and addicting necklace class! Kumihimo braids can be made from any yarns, hemp, leather, cords, beads, shells or strings. The finished braids can be used for many things, such as necklaces, bracelets, key chains, pet collars, pillow edging, belts ………the list could go on and on. So many possibilities!

The most enticing part of this technique, is that you can work on these braids almost anywhere you go, including long boring car trips (as long as you’re not driving). The materials and tools are very portable!

Join us at 104 Will G Lane, Cheraw, on July 23 @ 6:30 pm until 8:30pm. The class fee will purchase a kit and the supplies to make a beaded necklace similar to the picture above. Brenda Branson, the instructor will walk you through step‐by‐step, and later, on your own with the detailed instructions included and your own loom, you’ll be making braid after braid.

Kits will be available in several different colors. This class/demo is geared for the student who has never done any braiding, however, those who have done some braiding are also welcome. We will jump start to weaving with beads, so come prepared and stay with us!

Kits include: c‐lon cord, size 8 beads to make one 16 – 20 inch necklace, end caps, clasps, loom, bobbins and instructions.

Kit Price ‐ $40.00

Registration is requested to ensure a space since there will be a limited number of participants. Call 803 984‐1899 or email Brenda Branson at brendabranson@gmail.com to register.
