Over the first phase of the project, Rachel has been offering free braiding workshops to encourage the local community to create braids that will become part of the new sculpture for Nottingham.
Kumihimo - Participants had an introduction to the Japanese braiding technique of Kumihimo using a traditional wooden Marudai. During these workshops they were guided through a range of techniques and movements to produce two types of braid.
