Mizuhiki is thought to date to the 7th century, when red and white cords decorated gifts traded with China. Twisted washi-paper cords developed into a Japanese craft used for weddings, seasonal celebrations, and other occasions. Knot forms and colors express connection and sentiment, with uses in fashion, interiors, and personal art.

Align and tie cords into knots, exploring color transitions in a focused, meditative process.

Beginners are welcome, with guidance throughout.

You will take home your one-of-a-kind artwork.

Participants of all genders are welcome.
