Class Description: Braiding color beads in order using 8-strand Kongoh Gumi Z technique is a challenge, but the result is so rewarding. In this class, you’ll learn how to arrange 6-color beads and string them onto each of eight cords. You’ll also learn how changing one or two color beads will achieve different affects; fuchsia or vibrant aqua effect, even if you only purchase one of the three kits in your favorite color.
