So...Keith Lo Bue is staying at our house right now and tonight he got out his kumihimo pieces. I flipped out.
This piece to the left is a tye.
This is my absolute favorite. it is a couple different cords that were made and then braided together. I believe Keith still has a few spaces left in his October 10th class in conneticut. It's called "All In A Cord" and you can find more info
here. He also is going to teach this at our house/studio in Issaquah this sat/sun to a small group of people (for plenty of hands on instruction). We can accept a couple more if you are interested. All the info is the same as
this description but the place has been changed to Issaquah.
email me if interested. Of course not everything shown here will be taught in the 2 days, but you will at least learn how to do it and then can go crazy with it like keith has done.
I know you will have fun learning Kumihimo. I was introduced to it in July 2011 and haven't stopped since. Wish I could be there, but Atlanta, GA is a long way. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteVery different artform.....love the look of them !!
ReplyDeleteTeesha - I need to relocate to Issaquah!!! Wish I could do all the amazing workshops you guys are always organizing.
ReplyDeleteLove to you and Tracy Xxxx
I simply love his handmade links and clasps. They really add an interesting and unique look to the pieces. I have been hearing a lot about Kumihimo lately. I should give it a try!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited I am taking the class at Art is You next week!!! Love seeing all the samples
