Kumihimo

Textile Arts Center @ 505 Carroll St, Brooklyn, NY

Students will learn Kumihimo technique, a card braiding technique traditionally from Japan that means 'gathered threads.' The Samurai once used kumihimo as laces for their armor. Kumihimo is made by interlacing reels of yarn such as cotton, silk, ribbon, cord or even scraps of torn fabric. We'll create lengths of decorative braids that can become unique bracelets or key chain decorations. No prior experience is necessary. Materials + Equipment...

Description

For this edition of our group/family build series of classes, join veteran sailor Dan Nelson to make a Turk's Head bracelet. Each ticket admits two people, and you will each learn how to tie this traditional decorative knotted bracelet around your partner's wrist. This versatile but simple knot can be tied with just a few or many strands, depending on the desired width. No prior knot-tying knowledge is required and beginners are welcome. The twine you will use is your choice of either all-natural, 100% jute, natural color twine, or black synthetic seine twine.

In the photograph at the bottom of the page, you can see two Turk's Heads tied around the sloop Clearwater's original tiller, which is carved in the shape of an arm and a fist. This piece is in the collection of the Hudson River Maritime Museum and currently on display in the exhibition hall.

Skill level: basic

Prerequisites: none

Note: Each ticket admits 2 people
