Braiding with wire
The Guild workshop involved just the braiding techniques we have tried before - but with fine wire instead of fibre, which can make various items of jewellery. The process for warping threads was just the same, and we tried different wire weights, as well well as braiding techniques.
We started with finger loop braiding (English) and then moved on to kumihimo.
Before attempting the Japanese finger loop braiding, we practised with wool.
It was the usual full day, and we took the findings home to complete our bracelets at our leisure...
