Come advance your fingerweaving skills!  This braiding technique is traditionally used in Osage culture to form wide flat pieces such as belts and bags.  No loom required, the fingers alone manipulate the threads to form a dense fabric.  Participants will receive instruction and support to continue their skills, with emphasis on identifying, correcting and avoiding mistakes.   New students are welcome!  Limit 8 new students. (Students are welcome at any location, any session!)  Supplies will be provided.
