Handmade Fun: Ties of Friendship

Buy Tickets

Friendship bracelets are symbols of the bond between buddies, and colourful links between past and present. Make one to tie on a friend’s wrist as they make a wish!

 

Lazy summer days are a great time to hang out with your pals, building bonds and memories to last a lifetime. Make your best friend a friendship bracelet to show them how special they are. These multicoloured bands of knotted string are both ancient and modern: some of the decorative knots can be traced back to Ancient China, but their global popularity dates to the 1980s, when the Maya of Central America began wearing knotted bracelets as symbols of solidarity and protest. We provide instructions for three different bracelet patterns, plus an amazing selection of materials, to help you create something truly original. Be sure to bring your friends, so that you can all make bracelets together!

Jumpstart your imagination and stretch your creative-thinking skills with these workshops for ages 5 and up. Themes change regularly and are designed to foster creativity. These programs may be pre-empted by a special event.
