Hammock Making Workshop:
We have a lot of fun making hammocks here at Bay Hammocks and thought you might like to join us. Lots of people call wanting to purchase a hammock making kit but we think that it is not very practical to make a hammock yourself without proper assistance. Instead, we are offering you the opportunity to visit our workshop and make your hammock under the watchful eye of Lynn Sallans, our Master Hammock Maker.
There are three choices you can make:
If you want to come by yourself to learn, call us and book and appointment. We will schedule a time that Lynn is working and is convenient for you.
or
You can take a chance and simply drop in on the chance Lynn is working, she does take the odd day off 
, and we will get you set up and away you go.
or
get a small group (up to 10) together and call to book a time.
Cost – We recommend you make an EarthFriendly or Nylon Hammock. After all, if you are doing the work you want the best available. It will cost you the price of the hammock you choose to make and you may want to purchase some accessories to go with it – a pillow, hanging kit, magazine holder, etc.
How it works:
The following steps will be done when for you:
- Rope will be made
- Spreader bars will be drilled and finished
- Rope will be measured and on a shuttle
- Your loom will be set up
What you do:
- Weave the hammock bed
- Make the hanging harness
- Tie the hanging harness to the hammock bed through the spreader bars
And Volia! You have made a hammock.
