KUMIHIMO BRAIDING ON THE MARUDAI, 8 & 16 ELEMENTS $135
Saturday, January 14, 9:30-4:30pm and
Sunday, January 15, 9-3:30pm

For those familiar with the basics of kumihimo braiding, this two day workshop is an in-depth study of braid interlacements which build on one another. The focus of day one will be to learn the basic movements of 8 element braids; day two will combine these movements to create complex braids of 16 elements. Braiders will use instruction diagrams from Braid Runner, the kumihimo software design program created by Derek Neilson.
KUMIHIMO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED.

Rosalie Neilson learned to braid on the Marudai and Kakudai stands in 1980 at the Naganuma Kumono Gakuin in Tokyo. She continued her study during two additional trips to Japan in 1982 and 1987. She is actively involved in Kumihimo, having self-published two books and has been in Handwoven and Shuttle, Spindle and Dyepot. She teaches across the US to weaving guilds and at the Oregon College of Art and Craft.

Because Rosalie is a visiting instructor our rules on class sign up will be different. To register in the class we must have full payment at the time of registration. If for some reason you can not take the class after signing up, a refund will be made only if we can fill your space. We have made a commitment to Rosalie and are liable for costs.
