Not much thought is given to lowly cordage or rope in how it has shaped our growth as humans. From the first fishing nets to the lines on ships cordage has taken us above and beyond our primitive origins. Take a step back in this workshop where we will be exploring the making of cordage from natural materials. Topics to be covered will include the I.D. of good cordage plants, ethical harvest practices and of course hands on practice making your very own cord. A short walk will be included to harvest some of our own materials The ability to make cordage is helpful to practicing other primitive skills and great for making your own bracelets and necklaces. See you there!
