Stone Wrapping - Next Level

with  Nan Calvert

Next workshop to be in 2025

(Please arrive a few minutes ahead of class)

Fee - $45.00

$15.00 instructor fee due at the time of class.

Stone wrapping is an ancient and purposeful practice originating in Japan. Today the tradition is used to create beautiful artistic pieces that impart a sense of relaxation, focus and calm. Often, they are arranged in lovely groupings for display. Each stone is unique in all the world.

You learned the basics in the Introduction to Stone Wrapping workshop. Now, it's time to up your game!  In this class, you'll use various materials - not just caning - for the wraps. You will learn the Chinese crown knot. And, you will try your hand at fiber emballage.

So exciting!! Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have at focusanflow@gmail.com.

During the class, you will learn how to use caning to wrap stones in various patterns. Time permitting, you can experiment with waxed cord in an array of gorgeous colors. Combining wrapping media and other elements can result in mesmerizing texture and visual interest. Everyone will leave with at least 2 stones to call their own.

 

Class Limit – 12   Ages 16 and up.

Instructor will provide:

  • Stones

  • Wrapping media – caning, colorful waxed cord, jute

  • Tools

  • Embellishments

  • Enthusiasm and expertise

 

Students will provide:

  • A sense of fun and creativity

  • A chair pad to keep you comfy if desired

  • A small, flat-head screwdriver or a lacing fid and a side cutter like the type used in jewelry making.

Please note – if you have a stone that means something to you, bring it along! Ideally, it should be flat, smooth, and more oval than round. More than an inch long is best.
