CORDAGE & NETMAKING and Firemaking Practice with TAMARA WILDER
Saturday, March 22 10am-4pm at Emerald Earth (near Boonville, CA) Mendocino County $75

The knowledge of how to make string is one of the most basic and important of human life skills. Cordage (string & rope) has been used by humans for ages as a tool in fishing and hunting, for carrying burdens, constructing shelters, in textiles, for tying bundles of possessions together, and so on.

Plants that yield good fiber will be identified and discussed while participants learn and practice fiber extraction and processing methods. Techniques of plying the fibers into cord will then be explored. Time permitting, we will also cover knotted netting using supplied netting shuttles & measures.

This course will also include a brief handdrill friction firemaking practice following lunch.
