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.

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.

This 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!
