7 Strand Braiding Workshop

Join us for our exclusive 7 Strand Braiding Workshop with Donna at Riverside Beads in Market Deeping, near Peterborough. In this creative class, you’ll learn how to make your own stylish corded bracelet using our unique 7 strand braiding disk, available only at Riverside Beads.

During this hands-on session, Donna will teach you how to create your braid step by step, using satin cord in your chosen colour. This versatile braiding technique has roots in Viking history, where it was originally made using a “trollen wheel,” and has since become a favourite among Kumihimo enthusiasts for its beautiful, durable results.

As the owner of Riverside Beads and Crafts and author o two Kumihimo books, Donna brings over 22 years of teaching experience to the class.
