Create a stylish knotless netting bag perfect for fall!
We will first practice processing dogbane sticks to extract the fiber and make sample cordage, and then begin a small bag using hemp string supplied by the instructor. Knotless netting is a world-wide technique that involves various looping structures made with local fibers threaded on a needle. In California, traditional suitable fibers include dogbane, milkweed, iris, stinging-nettle, and agave
Participants must bring: scissors,pocket knife, as well as lunch
