Private horsehair-knotting workshops
Learn intricate horsehair hitching in a one- or two-person workshop.
Hitched Horse Hair / Hitching Tails
Shoni and Ron Maulding offer tailored horsehair-hitching instruction for one or two people at their Montana studio. The beginner format spans three days and introduces patterned knotwork through small key-fob projects. This is a focused craft retreat using horse-tail hair, distinct from ordinary braiding or a drop-in party activity.

Inquiry only: confirm current teaching dates, exact instructor, participant suitability, materials and their sourcing, project scope, access and travel arrangements. The website retains older relocation copy and unfinished photo notes; a 2025 firsthand artist interview corroborates ongoing craft practice, not a guaranteed booking. No wedding package, customer-supplied hair acceptance, durability, ethical-sourcing or cultural-origin claims are made.
