Family Ties: String-Making for All Cordage workshop

, Santa Rosa, CA 95401

April 8, 2017

About

Before the inventions of Velcro, zippers and nails, the world was held together with string and rope made from plants.

In this workshop for ages 9 and up (children must be accompanied by an adult), we will experience the magic of cordage-making using a variety of native and garden plants, and see nets made from dogbane and iris vein fibers.

Hot drinks and light snacks will be provided. Charlie Kennard of San Anselmo is a long-time basket weaver and student of California Indian and European techniques.

This free program is made possible through a partnership between the Laguna Foundation, LandPaths and the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District.
