HRMM: Nautical Road Wreath

Students will weave together nautical rope and assemble it onto a backing that can be hung on their front door. Students will be able to personalize and decorate their wreaths with various accoutrements to add their own special style and flavor. Rope wreaths use traditional knot-tying methods and have a long history in traditional nautical decoration. This class takes place in the shop at the HRMM Wooden Boat School located at 86 Rondout Landing in Kingston's historic Rondout district.

 

The Wooden Boat School was founded by the Hudson River Maritime Museum in 2015 to preserve the maritime craft traditions of the Hudson Valley and to teach a hands-on interpretation of the living history of the Hudson River. The school offers diverse curriculum and opportunities which inspire skills in woodworking, boat building, and maritime craft. Also available are restoration services for wooden boats.
