This wonderful technique is perfect for creating strong and striking jewellery. 

The finished braids or plaits can be used on their own or as bases to work onto. On this workshop you will learn how to create perfectly uniformed multi strand plaits and braids, discover how to use them as bases for cuffs, collars, tiaras and how to use sections to create interesting pendants and connectors. We will also explore the various ways in which you can neatly finish your plaits and braids
