A survey of 18 braids from Jacqui Carey’s book: Creative Kumihimo
Leader: Carolyn Haushalter
This 12-week course will be a survey of 18 of the braids from the book. Each week students will be guided through a different braid. A new course module with that week’s braid will be posted every Saturday. You will have a week to work on your braids at your convenience. Periodically during the week, Carolyn will be available for student questions via the course discussion forum. Students will use the forum to post questions and photos and get feedback from Carolyn and other students. Everyone is encouraged to post comments and interact with others on the forum. The course is designed for everyone to learn while they enjoy braiding together. The more participation, the more beneficial the course will be for everyone.
Pre-requisite: This is a marudai only course. Participants need to be proficient using a marudai and familiar with setting up their marudai and counterweight for up to 16 tama.
Course Start Date: June 30th
