Kumihimo (Friendship Bracelets)
Learn how to make woven jewellery
Service Description
Do you remember how much fun making friendship braids was? I certainly do. Kumihimo is a Japanese technique for braiding which makes the most wonderful friendships bands and woven jewellery. You can even add beads to your work to really add some sparkle and refinement to your work. The workshop runs for about 45 minutes and includes all the materials you will need to make a few friendship bracelets in different designs. During the session we will learn the basic 8 thread braid with online & material support for you to explore other designs. We are a child friendly space but we do recommend session for older children (10 onwards) who can pay attention to instructions and aren't too easily distracted. Included are drinks and some snacks (biscuits). We do have standing room for parents but a fully booked session wont leave any seating available. Kumihimo is an 45min - 1 hour workshop, capped to a maximum of 4 participants at any one time. The workshop is run from our shop based in Plymouth, Devon which has a small car park near by which is free for 3 hours. Please note payment is required in advance. We can accept payment via the shop or through the paypal invoice we will send to your email. Payment must be made at least 48 hours in advance.

All materials and tuition are included in the price and there will be some time at the end for shopping should you wish to purchase additional supplies to take home with you. ** The shop does not contain public toilet facilities. Please bear this in mind as to whether this workshop will be suitable for you or your children. The shop can accommodate a single wheelchair per session.
