For this special Valentine's Day edition of our monthly group/family build series of classes, join veteran sailor Dan Nelson to make a Turk's Head bracelet. Each ticket admits two people, and you will each learn how to tie this traditional decorative knotted bracelet around your partner's wrist. This versatile but simple knot can be tied with just a few or many strands, depending on the desired width. No prior knot-tying knowledge is required and beginners are welcome. The twine you will use is all-natural, 100% cotton, natural color seine twine.
In the photograph above right, you can see two Turk's Heads tied around the sloop Clearwater's original tiller, which is carved in the shape of an arm and a fist. This piece is in the collection of the Hudson River Maritime Museum and currently on display in the exhibition hall.
$5 Materials fee to be paid directly to the school on the first day of class.
