Explore the wonderful world of washi! In this class, participants will create unique washi and chigirie beads using a variety of Japanese paper craft techniques. Participants will then craft a necklace that combines their highly decorative washi beads with the subtle, monochromatic chigirie beads, accentuated with bronze pendants and selective commercial beads.

All materials and technical assistance will be provided by instructors Reiko Nakano and Robyn Ogawa. Bring a snack and willingness to learn and leave with a stunning, original necklace you can wear or gift.
