It’s A Wrap – Weaving Around Rocks
2026-07-07 10:00 - 16:00 | Waterfall Arts, 256 High St, Belfast, ME, 04915, United States
Round-and-round, over-and-under, front-to-back . . . beach stones, leather cord, beeswax.
The serene and meditative practice of wrapping rocks comes from Japan but has been brought into the light by ‘wrappers’ all around the world. The process involves a combination of artistic skill, patience and attention to detail, with the result of producing an aesthetically pleasing stone that is satisfying to hold; the simple pattern makes the most elegant statement; less is more.
Maine has an abundance of stones, especially well-rounded ones—easy for beach-combing in search of the perfect shape; ideal for the task at hand.
This 2-day class will introduce students to this traditional art form. Each participant can expect to finish up with a number of completed pieces, and the knowledge to continue moving forward with the practice on their own. Bring several smooth round beach stones and a flat-head screwdriver. All other materials will be provided. No experience necessary.
