Asa-no-Ha Kumiko Class Sept. 23

I’ll be teaching another class introducing students to basic kumiko patterns and techniques.  The class will be held at Mokuchi Studios on Saturday Sept. 23.  In class you will learn the basics of making kumiko patterns, including how to prepare material, make the jigumi grid that houses the pattern, and how to cut and fit the many pattern pieces.  We will also look at a variety of jigs used in the preparation of kumiko stock and for cutting pattern pieces. Everyone will make a trivet based on the popular asa-no-ha design shown below.  A variety of other patterns will also be discussed.  Please visit Mokuchi Woodworking to sign up.
