Workshop Description: Bolo ties are a great way to dress up your western shirt. Want something nicer than the average “store bought” bolo? Would you like to be able to tell your friends that you made your bolo and be able to make one for them also? Then this is the workshop for you. You will braid your bolo out of kangaroo lace using the four-strand flat and round braids. With two instructors and probably a couple others that will drop in, you will learn many different techniques of braiding. It will be a moderately paced workshop and should afford you plenty of time to finish your project. Nick and Joe have been teaching together for about 7 years and know how to keep it interesting and fun.

Materials to bring: Any braiding book you may have, note taking supplies, and a camera if you want.

Workshop Instructor: Joe Boyles began braiding while in Australia in 1988 after getting his first Ron Edwards book. Back home, he was taught rawhide by Mary Fields, who is in the Bruce Grant books, and also attended Dale Moore’s saddle building school. Kangaroo and rawhide are his preferred materials to braid with. He started braiding Australian stock whips a few years ago and is now starting on bullwhips. Joe enjoys teaching and will keep you entertained while you learn.

An accomplished braider currently residing in Casper, Wyoming, Nick Carter is a working man’s braider who has been making and sometimes selling his braided goods for over 24 years. Always willing to share and learn techniques, Nick offers his services with great enthusiasm every chance he gets.

Workshop Sponsors: Tandy Leather and Y-Knot Lace
