Workshop
Super Froth Bracelet
Skill Level:
Beginner/intermediate—previous experience with off-loom bead weaving is
necessary.
A chance to spend a day reveling in excess, as you create a waterfall of
decadent froth! This ndebele-based patterned cuff becomes the backdrop for
the all of the encrusting, fringing and "Meinhardt Frothy Fringe" that you
can fit on the bracelet's slanted edge. You will learn how to begin
Ndebele on a 45-degree angle and how to fasten the cuff without a trace of
the closure visible around your wrist. This fun, relaxed workshop is a
pleasure for all skill levels. We know you will enjoy this day with NanC.
