Workshop Description: Students will learn how to braid a Turk’s head foundation knot of 7 parts/6 bites (with a herringbone interweave) and also a Spanish ring knot of 2 passes. They’ll also go over braiding terminology, different braiding materials, and how they behave, string sizing, and books/reference resources for the braider.

Materials to bring: Phone camera, note-taking materials, braiding awl (Joe and Nick will have extra) and PATIENCE!

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.
