You don't need to know how to weave to take this class. The first day of class you will learn to open and close coil and add beads to the design. The second day of class you will learn to knotless net to a couched row of cord. Materials supplied: drill bit, needle, tiger tape, 5" to 6” ready-to-weave gourd, waxed linen cord, hand-dyed cord, beads, mini awl and step by step color photo instructions.
