  • Artesanar: Cordage Making Workshop

    November 12, 2026

    6:00 PM

    Oakwood Community Center

    In the widespread, ancestral practice of cordage-making, people across cultures have turned to this skill to put towards making nets, lashing shelters, ceremonial arts, twined clothing and more. With courage and inspiration from her Hawaiian and Filipino ancestors, Azure Keahi will guide participants through the process of preparing and twisting plant fibers to create a simple, two-ply strand. Using coredage-making as a conduit for quiet noticing and reflection, we will pay attention to how our minds and hands respond to the motions and materials of this practice.
