Hi!

I was just going through the Spring catalog for Oregon College of Art and Craft class & continuing ed workshops listings, and I noticed that two one-day, all-day workshops are being offered in kumihimo. I don't have any personal experience with these classes just yet, but they seem reasonably priced and worth checking out.

The first one is Feb. 10 and is a workshop using the round disk, and the second one is March 10th using the square disk and some experimenting in the computer lab with a braid design program called Braid Runner

If you're in Portland, or in the region and are interested, more info can be found here (scroll to pg. 12).

Thanks Bonnie! It is a little far for me though

Yeah, I know the feeling- I once got very excited to find on one of my web searches information about a six week netsuke carving workshop that fell just in one of my summer break periods, only to find when clicking on the link that it was in Japan

I am hoping that I can go to at least one of these workshops, since I've not seen them offered before here and it may be a while before they're offered again! The person teaching them, though, has written a book on braiding and designed the braiding software, so I figure even if I can't go to either of them due to work, I can probably contact her &/or purchase her book.
