To the best of my knowledge, most of the contemporary work in ply-split braiding is being done/talked about there. They have frequent show-and-tell Zoom meetings and always seem to be trying new things with the technique. Especially some of the 3D stuff, that really seems like it's at the forefront of handmade textiles in general. Of course, I'd love it if some of them would come post here too! 😝

If you haven't tried it yet, it's a very accessible craft. All you need is a tool called a "gripfid", although admittedly they can be hard to find. Once you've got one though, the whole hobby is very portable and easy to put away at a moment's notice. It lends itself well to experimenting without a pattern as well.

This is mainly because the more popular textile methods already have their dedicated communities, and we don't want to divide their audience. Here are some of the existing ones:
