Join us at the beautiful Fibershed Learning Center on Black Mountain Ranch near Point Reyes Station, CA, where we will learn to processing dogbane sticks to extract the fiber and make sample cordage, before beginning a small bag using cotton or hemp string supplied by the instructor. Knotless netting is a world-wide technique that involves various looping structures made with local fibers threaded on a needle. In California, traditional suitable fibers include dogbane, milkweed, iris, stinging-nettle, and agave.
Participants must bring: scissors plus any personal snacks, lunch and beverages.
Maximum 12 students.
