Knots have been used for centuries by sailors to make practical and ornamental items. Learn a few basics of this decorative art while creating a pocket knife lanyard. Participants will learn three knots and two braids (called sennits), which can be used for other decorative applications like bracelets or necklaces or practical applications like dog leashes, bell ropes, and wheel coverings. A list of books and websites will be shared to help participants continue to learn on their own after the workshop. Instructor Tom Deam "learned the ropes" over 40 years ago in the Navy.
