Chinese Knotting

Tutor; Tracey Bell

This ancient art will have you captivated and can be incorporated in so many ways - from
practical uses such as buttons, braids,
jewellery, upholstery trimmings and frogging to the purely decorative. Learn a selection of the basic knots, see how they can be compounded to form more complex patterns and included in projects. Take home a sample board or a few finished treasures!

Requirements List

Pinning board - approx. 50cm square - thick foam rubber, polystyrene, three sheets of corrugated cardboard or cork tiles taped together - I find a plain
dark material cover helpful

Sharp scissors

Long Tweezers (craft type with hooked ends are best)

Very long pins - with pearl tops

Crotchet hook

needles and threads (black and white or your cord colours)

Clear adhesive - uhu doesn't yellow with time and you can get non string variety!

Any plain coloured cords, silk rat tail (most suitable for jewellery), cotton piping cord or whatever you have - any thickness any colour.

Any jewellery findings you might have, pendants, large holed beads, jade, stones with holes in them
(polished or from the beach)

I WILL HAVE SILKY RAT TAIL, JEWELLERY FINDINGS AND JADE PIECES FOR SALE
