Braids around the world + workshop (June 17th) CANCELLED
THIS EVENT HAS NOW BEEN CANCELLED due to the ill-health of the tutor. The June meeting will now be one where we catch up on projects such as cotton spinning, rigid heddle projects, and other creative endeavours. The guild newsletter provides more detail.
Learn more about small portable braiding techniques (emphasis on flat and square braids) at our next meeting (arranged by Jane Lucas and taught by Freda Robinson at Arabesque Braids). In her talk in the morning Freda invites us to 'Follow me in my adventures into braiding, and share an exploration of many different braids and their uses. See and examine many braids I have collected in my travels Ireland to Peru; Nepal to Ukraine and many countries in between. See the development of braids from Viking times to the present day and explore their potential for yourself.'
After lunch Freda will teach us braiding techniques using kumihimo discs and lucets, including how to make beaded bracelets.
There is a small charge for materials and kits should be ordered in advance. Ann Howells has been collecting information on who wants which type of pack, so if she missed you at the last meeting and you plan to participate in the workshop please let her know which pack you will require. The costs are very modest. Email wsdstratford@gmail.com to find out more.
This is the last Stratford-based meeting until September. Now that the sun is shining at last we can anticipate some outdoor dyeing at Abby's in July. More on this will follow!
