Fiber Jewelry

In this class, deepen your craft in pompoms and tassels! Learn how to create patterns in your pompoms, trim them into different shapes, and embellish your projects. Explore different colors, sizes and materials (and even learn how to DIY your own tools from home). Take your soft sculptures to the next level! Previous pompom experience is not necessary— all levels are welcome.

In this workshop, students will learn the Kumihimo technique, a simple card braiding technique traditional from Japan. Using natural fibers, such as cotton and silk, you will design and create a unique bracelet and finish it with vintage and reclaimed brass components.

In this course participants will learn how to create handmade pompons that can be used to decorate clothing, fabrics, and accessories as well as to use in their artworks. All supplies will be provided at the Pon-a-thon but feel free to bring any yarn you would like to use.
