Making Cordage

Learn to make and use cords for fiber artwork at Making Cordage on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Greenhouse Auditorium.

Instructors Heidi Leuszler and Ann Coddington will begin by discussing the ancient methods of making rope, then lead the class on a walk to gather dried materials. After looking at fibers through a microscope, students will learn how to make cordage out of different materials and how to weave a basic structure.
