Kumihimo - Make Your Own Hoodie String

Class Details

Come join us to learn the Japanese art form called Kumihimo!

Kumihimo, meaning “gathered threads”, is a traditional Japanese art form of braiding. Traditionally, kumihimo braids were made on a marudai and used for many purposes, including decoration over an obi. Kumihimo braids are now being used for hoodie strings, shoelaces, friendship bracelets, and more.

In this modern version, you will learn using a foam disc and bobbins. We will be making an 8-strand braid long enough to make a draw string for your favorite hoodie.

A Kumihimo kit is included in the class and is yours to take home so you can continue your braiding journey!

This class is for all ages. Anyone under 16 will need a parent or guardian with them during the class.
