Book & Paper Arts Workshops
Arrow and Quiver Making (Olympia, WA)
Class Description: On the first day of the class, students will make arrows in the traditional British method using hand-tied feathers and a variety of shaft materials ranging from a $1 poplar dowel from Lowe’s to $4 Port Orford cedar shaft. We will use both purchased archery feathers which students will cut by hand and full turkey feathers which students will strip and cut. Students can make up to 5 arrows in the day.
On the second day students will make a traditional leather back quiver (just like the one Robin Hood uses). Using cow leather you will learn basic leather working skills needed to craft the arrow quiver.
Notes about allowing youth under 18: Youth okay! Parents need to be sure the youth is able to do the work and be prepared to stay during class. Legal guardian must accompany youth under 14. Separate registrations required if you both wish to do your own project, one registration is fine if you plan on working on one project together.
