Local Workshop: Kumihimo Beaded Cord Bracelet

There will be two workshops for making Kumihimo beaded cord bracelets in Rapid City, taught by Linda Snedigar-Paulsen. Kumihimo is the Japanese art of board braiding, and is a beautiful and simple way to create beaded cording. In the workshop you will learn how to braid with eight strands while incorporating beds that are threaded onto your fiber. It creates an amazing and unique looking bracelet.

The workshops will be held Saturday, September 29 at 1:00 to 4:00 PM and Tuesday, October 9 at 6:00 to 9:00 PM at the Moonshadow Bead Studio, Studio B. The address is 318 Mt. Rushmore Road. Its 1/2 a block north of the Adoba Eco Hotel. You will get a kit that includes an instruction booklet, a Kumihimo disk, fiber/floss with beads threaded on, and end caps with clasp. The workshop is open to anyone 12 and up. It costs $25 and an additional $20 supply fee may be paid to the instructor.
