FIBRE-CRAFT 101: The Art of Turning Plant Fibres into Bags, Nets, String, Sandals.
The art of working fibre is nearly a lost art. You’ll learn to recognize some of the common plants which yield a useful fibre, and learn how to work them into strings, and nets, and sandals, and more.
We’ll look at the many plants used for fibre in the old days, which are still useful today, plants such as agave, yucca, nettle, flax, etc.
In the old days of the Southwest, the lives of the people were literally tied together with fibre: for shelter, for clothing (hats, belts, shoes), fishing nets, bags, weaponry, fire-making, brushes, looms for fabric.
Join us as we learn about this ages-old “lost art.” $25.
