Braiding Classes in Texas?

[King's X]

Rawhide

We have a couple of braiders in our guild. I cornered one of our braiding members this morning over Bfast and asked him if he could put on a class for our guild members on a simple braiding project or two. Since the levels of experience vary, I asked him to keep it simple to start and build from there.

While I had him cornered I inquired about teaching a beginners and intermediate class for other folks in the area like you. I know that you wanted me to keep you updated. He is willing to do this so, Danny and I are going to be working with him to hopefully get these off the ground. Hopefully, I will be able to post a small tutorial after our guild class in the coming months. I will keep you up to date if you are still interested.

And, as always with me, everyone near here is invited to attend the non-guild classes. We have to figure out the costs and we will post something.

Good luck

Hi everyone,

Our Guild president Dave Smith has offered to help set up and sponsor a class in Fort Worth if Alan or RawhideLady are still willing to teach. I'm not sure about all the details which can all still be ironed out, but he did put the offer out there.

Let me know if you're still interested and I'll either be the go between or put you in touch with the Dave, whichever you prefer.

Hello All,

I wish I could commit to helping teach a class but I am about to start Nursing school myself and have to devote my time to studying for that.

If you do get a class together I would like to know about it and the schedule. If I had a better Idea of when and where and for how long I would be better able to make a commitment.

Now I am a self-taught braider that learned pretty much by reading the books. It's been a few years since I even picked up something to braid. I'm sure I would be able to help the real beginners get started and I have some experience in making my own string. I am by no means an expert, but I am willing to share what I know with others.

Keep me informed.

Rwhidelady.

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. Laurel @ laurelsleather@yahoo.com, also building a Web site for laurelsleather.com.

Braiding classes are hard to find, period. You almost have to become an apprentice to find the teachings. I have purchsed several books, but would definitely like some instruction.

Maybe someone will chime in that knows.
