Marion,
You might try Brian Neubert @ P. O. Box 726, Alturas, Ca. 96101, Ph. (530) 233-3582, who has a video of "Introduction to Rawhide Braiding, The Cowboy's Craft," that cost $69 plus $3.50 shipping when I bought it in '03, though, the prices might have gone up. The easy way to learn, you know monkey-see-monkey-do. He might still travel and and be in your area. Good luck with it.
