Rock Wrapping

Japanese Rock Wrapping (or tsutsumu) is an art form symbolizing peace and protection. In this workshop, you will learn three basic knots using a variety of wrapping materials and embellishments to apply this art on three stones. After learning these techniques, let your imagination run wild! Students make 6 to 8 stones per class. The instructor supplies a kit which includes a gift pouch, needle and 10 additional yards of leather for students to bring home with them to continue this craft. During the workshop, students have access to a table full of wrapping materials (leather, paper cord, cotton cord and hemp) and assorted embellishments, as well as the supplies to fasten them (including nippers, awls, glue and double sided tape).
