What is kumihimo? The word means “gathered threads” and involves using a multistrand cord or string known as the “koma.” Originally used for practical purposes such as securing armor and clothing, kumihimo now serves many decorative functions, including jewelry making and home decor. Participants will learn the craft by starting out making a friendship bracelet. After that is mastered, they will move on to more advanced design and projects. Both new and returning students are welcome. We will try simple and advanced designs to keep everyone engaged.
NOTE: This is round, not square, kumihimo. A supply list will be sent to registered students prior to the first class. The cost of supplies may range from $15 to $40, depending on the project.
