Next meeting:

Wednesday, May 8, 2024 6:30 p.m. at The Box Jelly and via Zoom

Knots and knot-tying have been an important part of human culture and history since pre-historic times. They continue to be everywhere in modern daily life. One of the most common knots is the overhand knot, which has endless uses. A familiar use in jewelry-making can be seen in the classic pearl necklace.

Monica Dang will be sharing how to turn beads and cord into a simple and fun bracelet with overhand knots. She will demonstrate how to place the knots exactly where you want them,every time!
