Description<\/strong>
This four-session course introduces the student to the ancient native American traditions of twining by making a simple twined bag which can be used as a purse, carrier, or tote bag. The course will include a history of Cherokee twining and its comparisons to other textile processes. Cotton Macram\u00e9 cord will be used with the first project, but the use of non-traditional repurposed materials such as scrap cotton fabrics and polyethylene will be demonstrated as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
