Classes     Make Your Own

 

The book got used endlessly by all eight of the children in our family. Most of us learned all the easy ones and a few of the somewhat more difficult ones. Some of us also learned all those middling ones, too. And a few of us, myself included, tried every single one in the book that it was possible for one person to do. Repeatedly.

 

  It was some time around 2010 

  that I suddenly had a renewed

  interest in doing String Figures

  --- although I had never really

  stopped doing them in the

  intervening years. So I pulled

  out my old loop of string figure

  string (yes, I still had it in the

  jewelry box on my dresser!)

  and found that I still

  remembered how to do more

  than a dozen of the String

  Figures in that seminal book.

 

In an online search to find a copy of this long out of print book, I discovered to my delight that the entire book is now online (link below), so now I've been re-learning other ones I used to know, brushing up my skills on a few I was a bit sketchy on, and also trying some of the more difficult ones again.

 

I love passing my love of String Figures on to small groups in  in-person or online classes at social gatherings, various 
 special events, 
 summer camps,

 and pretty much
 anywhere people 
 gathering. For a
significantly lower price than my other professional services, I would love to teach your group some String Figures, too.

 

Beginner and advanced classes are available.
