“Exploring the Use of Japanese and Andean Braided Finishes for Handwoven Clothing and Accessories” with Terry Newhouse Flynn
April 8, 2026, 1:00-4:00 p.m., In Person at First Baptist Church
Students who are new to braiding will work on a braiding card provided by the instructor. You will make samples of several braids that have different uses. (If students already have a disk or plate, bring it and we can see if the numbering will work.) Students who prefer to braid on the marudai and who are comfortable setting it up on their own, please let me know.
Along with teaching you to use the braiding card, I will demonstrate braiding on the marudai and takadai. There will be lots of braids to examine as well.
