Basics of Making a Bowstring
Learn to make a Flemish Twist bowstring! We will talk about some of the materials used both traditionally and in the modern setting, methods, and some of the different styles of strings and their purposes. Most of our time will be spent hands-on making an artificial sinew string and practicing the twist with different materials. If you have a bow, bring it or the measurement between the two string grooves, or practice by making a smaller version for a very snazzy Bowdrill string! This class is appropriate for ages 12+, younger if adult is present and you have decent focus.
Jia-Lin loves archery, and has been shooting since she was dexterous enough to tie strings to sticks. She has experience in making her own bows, arrows, strings, and quivers and is excited to share a little of her passion with you. She is currently a nurse and has been a mentor and community member of Two Coyotes Wilderness School for over a decade.
