Saddle Up! Mohair Cinch and Guitar Strap Weaving Workshop with Pop Wagner
9/9/17 – 9/10/17, Dodgeville WI
Folklore Village Sustainability Weekend
Traditional mohair cinches are strong, resistant to dirt and will not sore a horse if properly fitted. The guitar strap makes a unique gift for that musician in your life, or yourself! Design possibilities are typically based on the diamond and bar design.
Nine hours of instruction: In this informative two-day workshop you will make either a cinch or a guitar strap. Materials for a 30″ cinch or a 48″ guitar strap are provided, as well as the use of all necessary tools. Participants receive a detailed set of instructions for making a basic cinch or strap and plans for a cinch loom and loom stand.
Registration includes: two catered meals, Farm-to-Table Dinner, Barn Dance.
Nine other workshops are also offered.
