AGES: 8-12 TEACHER: Megan Larson Kumihimo (Japanese Multi Stranded Braiding): This centuries old braiding technique was originally used to make cords to tie on the armor of Samurai warriors. Using a simple 8 sided loom and satin cord, participants will learn to make 7 and 8 stranded braids that can be used as friendship bracelets, bookmarks, and many other things. We will complete the bracelets with metal jewelry clasps for a professional finish, and each student will be able to take their loom home with them so they can make more kumihimo braids on their own.
