250 Patterns from Japan, Peru and BeyondThis episode we chat with Rodrick Owen about kumihimo and Peruvian braids.  If you're not familiar with kumihimo, it's a Japanese style of braiding that creates beautiful and strong braids.  The most common form of kumihimo is woven on a marudai, essentially a small round table with a hole in the center.

Rodrick Owen - Kumihimo

Rodrick - Thanks for the very articulate explanation of this complex craft.  I didn't think it could be done without visuals, but you've managed to accomplish it even for those without a weaving background.  I hope that it encourages fiber workers to try braiding.

Applause for your editing, Syne

Okay, having had my fingers in the audio file assisting in some small way with the audio editing of ths piece, I have to give a Very deep bow of appreciation for your incredible editing-fu, Syne.

What a pleasure - both to hear this interview with this delightful lad, and also to hear how it evolved and tightened up in how your hand braided the sound-file from your afternoon conversation and interview with Rodrick into this splendid whole podcast episode.

I am also delighted to have attended a three-day workshop with Rod this past October, up the hill in Watsonville, CA, on borrowed equipment — and am braiding as I listen on the new maru-dai I received this Yule.

These podcasts are so enriching and it was really nice listening to Syne’s family wishing us for our holidays!! It was really an experience listening to Rodrick Owen talking about Kumihimo and Peruvian braids. I have never heard of this type of braiding and it was really easy to understand Rodrick explaining on this wonderful Japanese art!! After listening to this interview, I am sure that this will inspire many to try their hand at this type of braiding!! I am interested to learn the making of sound curtains , do we have any topics related to it?
