NEW CLASS !

Mizuhiki Class – Online/Zoom Programs

Summer/Fall 2022 Workshop Schedule !

Mizuhiki Foundations Class

We will cover the very basic foundations of the mizuhiki craft in this class. Although mizuhiki is often used to decorate presents (like how the western gifts adorn with ribbon), our designs are primarily meant to embellish cards.  The class will also cover ways to combine the basic knots to create fanciful adornments for greeting cards.

• Item#MFC220918 – $50.00 (Foundations Class) – WORKSHOP:
  Sunday 09/18/22 – 1 to 3 pm PST.  Please  REGISTER BY 09/08/22 to receive supply kit in time for the class. (Limited to Ten (10) students per class)

Mizuhiki Holiday Class

We will build on the techniques learned in the Mizuhiki Foundations class and create three embellishments perfect for upcoming holidays!  The class will use variations of the AWAJI knot to create a Christmas wreath, a rabbit (perfect for the 2023 Year of the Rabbit!) and a heart for Valentines Day.

Being familiar with the AWAJI knot is highly recommended as the class will go straight into creating the embellishments. (The Mizuhiki Foundations class will cover this knot in depth.)

Holiday Classes – Registration LINK

Interested in learning how to create MIZUHIKI (Japanese paper cords) embellishments?  This ancient craft originated over 1500 years ago during the Asuka Era,(late 500’s) as a way to embellish gifts.  Initially, only red and white cords were used, but today, dozens of different colors and shades, along with textures are available.  The primary purpose for this craft today, however, is still to enhance and decorate gifts.  The Japanese symbolism of mizuhiki is “musubi” (結び) or “tying together” – a way to connect with the person receiving the gift.

Class will be held online via ZOOM, and will be recorded.  The class materials will be shipped within a few days after registration.   An email with the ZOOM link and a list of tools needed from home (scissors, adhesives, etc.) will be sent separately about a week before the class.  The recording will be emailed to you about a day or two after the class. 

Hope you will be able to join us!
