On Friday, August 18, Richard Steiner & his lovely wife came to the Summit and gave us all a lesson in how to properly tie a baren.
Richard and his lovely wife in Sharri's beautiful studio.
Richard softening and warming the bamboo sheath with warm water, a terry cloth towel and his breath.
Softening & flattening the fibers with a smooth river rock. Beginning to wrap the bamboo sheath onto the baren. Paul de Jode and Viza Arlington take a turn (with Richard's help). Viza is doing a good job with that rock! Paul gets help with the wrapping, folding and holding. Viza gets hers wrapped tightly. Good job!
