Hammock Making Workshops

Hammock making workshops? You mean a real class where you make a hammock?

Yes, ’tis true.

I was casually surfing the ‘net this evening when a hammock blog post caught my eye and I thought some of you DIY’ers might be interested. The Bay Hammock Company is a small hammock manufacturer in lovely Nova Scotia, Canada. They sell hammocks and hammock chairs; and for those interested, you can book an appointment to make your own hammock. Further surfing found the Blue Chicory Garden and Workshop in Lanark County, Eastern Ontario, a working farm, organic market garden and workshop that also offers hammock making classes. Yes, both are in Canada. You Canadians have all the fun, it seems . If ever you wanted to make your own hammock but needed a little assistance, maybe this is an option for you. I thought, “How cool! I could even make a summer vacation out of this!” Husband has close relatives in Quebec and Ontario; so this is not farfetched for me. This got me thinking…are there any other hammock making workshops or classes out there?

 

Hammock Making in Belize

I found an interesting documentary video on YouTube about an 80 year old hammock maker in Belize.  Emilo Choco claims to be the last living practitioner of the ancient Mayan art of hammock making.  This short video won Best Documentary of 2005 in the Belize International Film Festival and was declared Best Cultural Feature of 2005 at the Caribbean Broadcast Union Awards.  Enjoy this glimpse of the ancient art of hammock weaving.  Shot with English subtitles.
