Sliding Turks Head Knots

Description

Isaac Romero

Rozet – Lokaal 3.01

Thursday 19. October 09.00 – 17.00

All skill levels welcome!

Workshop Description: Braided knots can be incorporated into projects like bracelets, key rings, bag closures, and as far as your imagination takes you. In this class, you will create sliding knots with some variations. We will start with the basic knot, then move on to integrating two types of interweaves, such as the Herringbone and Pineapple. The main goal is to repeat the Turks head knot several times, because repetition makes us memorize the steps better.

Materials to bring: Lacing fid/awl, bone folder, thread needles, lacing needles, some brushes, and rags to apply finish and antique. A small desk lamp or headlamp will be helpful, too.
