Yin is a nationally known instructor in the art of Japanese braiding known as "kumihimo." She has taught at Bead & Button, Virtually Ever Crafting, Bead Fest, BDI, and the American Kumihimo Society annual Gathering. Her work was published in the 2021 edition of AKS magazine. We are so fortunate to have Yin available for our second "back in person" class, which will also include a virtual option.
PART 1 on SATURDAY, April 15, 11-3:00 pm, EST in person at the Lexington Community Center or via Zoom
Part 2 on SATURDAY, April 22 EST Zoom only, 11:00 am – 12 pm
This 24” necklace uses the Japanese Kumihimo technique, 2-drop-8 Strand Kongoh Gumi. There are 5 different colors of 8° Japanese seed beads and crystal rondelle beads to make the daisy flower pattern beaded rope. A magnetic clasp front closure connects the flower rope to a beaded fringe that is both attractive and easy to wear.
In this class, students will learn the 2-drop Kongoh Gumi technique and explore the pattern of daisy flower in this beaded 8 Strand Kongoh braid.
