Mala Knotting
2020-04-19 10:30 - 13:00 (America/Vancouver) | CountryBeads, 2015 West 4th Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, V6J 1N3, Canada
Workshop Description
Learn the traditional method of knotting for a soft, fluid and more secure piece of jewellery. Using semi-precious stones, wooden beads and knotting cord you will create a beautiful mala-style necklace. This technique can be used for knotting pearls as well.
*Note: The workshop time allows for learning how to knot, and how to finish your necklace. Since a traditional mala is 108 beads, it is unlikely that your project will be completed in the class time. However, you are welcome to stay at our table during store hours to work on your project.
