Session: Ply-Split Braiding — Get Started

Description: For anyone curious, wanting to know more, or wanting to get started, great! This session will help with that.  Students will learn the basics of ply-split braiding, making three small projects. Students will work with the two main ply-split braiding structures known as POT and SCOT, will learn about quarter twists, and will know how to take things further after the session, gaining a practical and simple grounding in ply-split braiding.
