Creating Cordage and Knots

We'll make a bracelet with your hand-made cordage and see examples of what can be woven with cordage.

Knots and cordage work together as one. There are a variety of knots, each with properties that make it suitable for a range of tasks. A good knot is very useful when you're dealing with a situation in the wilderness or other everyday practical purposes. But, you have to know how to tie it. You'll learn how to construct essential knots, so you know what to do with your cordage the next time you head into the wild.

Instructor Dino Labiste received his academic degree at California College of the Arts.
