Fingerloop Braiding Fingerloop braiding is an old art, dating to at least the middle ages. Loops of thread are anchored to one spot and then manipulated and laced together with the fingers to create all manner of cordage and braids. Suitable for anything from keychains to handfasting cords and everything in-between, this is a fun and useful craft. Strings of all colours will be provided. Class is free, though donations are appreciated to cover costs. String will also be available for purchase. Teen Friendly (12-17)
Things with Strings Friendship bracelets, fingerloops braids, and other fun braiding and cording that can be done with any kind of embroidery floss, yarn, or thread. There are braids that don’t need to be knotted, but are instead woven – apply this knowledge to hair, or use it to braid other materials like leather or fabric to create belts or drum straps. If you missed one of the other workshops, come learn to tie a friendship bracelet or make a loop-braided cord. Strings of all colours will be provided.
