Korean Culture and Fiber Arts with Sarah
This meeting will include a very exciting presentation from Sarah Ha on Korean culture and fiber arts. Sarah will teach us how to do a Korean knot tying craft and we will be making the dragon fly key chain.
Sarah will be bringing kits for us to complete the project. She will supply two colors of 36" Maedeup cord for each attendee. After the session, if anyone wants to buy the Maedeup owl, Dabbi, and cords to explore more knot tying projects, she can sell Maedeup owl and Dabbi for $10 and 20 yds of cords (same color or various colors of different lengths) for $5.
Please bring your scissors and sewing glue. Since Sarah will be bringing Kits, please let me know by Monday, September 29 if you plan to attend so Sarah can have enough kits on hand.
