Class:  Kumihimo - Gold and Silver Classic Band
Date: August 8th - 10:00am-5:00pm
Level: Beginner

Description: This project is made on a Japanese Marudai braiding table.  The literal translation for Marudai is “round table” and that exactly what it is—a round table about three feet high with a small hole in its center.  During the class, you will learn both how to set up the Marudai and how to do the actual braiding.  
 
A delicate, intricately woven band of Sterling Silver and 14 K gold-filled wire may best be described as…a classic. Simple and yet at once exquisite, it is the single piece that is most often chosen by the world's leading designers and upper end shops for their displays. It says style and taste, luxury and bearing. Now there is a way to make this timeless hallmark of elegance in kumihimo on your marudai. Using wire to make a flat braid, you can then combine it with a fancy bugle bead mum over the clasp. This one is sure to become one of your lasting favorites.
