Maine Adult Education

Learn to manipulate various types of rope to create key fobs, bracelets, pouches, floor mats, and more. With a few simple but necessary tools, guidance from available reading material, and an experienced mariner to consult with in class, bring your questions and get deep into the style of handwork that has aided sailors for generations. In this class, you will learn practical knot work and splicing. Students may wish to purchase Marlinspike Sailor by Hervey Garret Smith or Des Pawson’s more recent Knot Craft. A list of additional locally available supplies will be sent prior to the start of class.
