October 27, 2017 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
You must register on the website for this workshop…

Learn the simple technique of creating cordage from several local plants, for a nearly endless number of uses, such as string, rope, and netting. Using dogbane or stinging nettle and yucca, participants will learn several hands-on methods of achieving a strong and neatly twined cordage.
The instructors will also demonstrate other methods of natural cordage, such as cambium, tree roots, and grasses, and discuss the use of sinew and rawhide. Participants can expect to take home at least two finished sections of plant cordage and extra materials to practice with.
**Registration is limited to 12 participants.
