The International Guild of Knot Tyers
The IGKT is an association of people—expert and novice, from all walks of life—who
share an interest in knots and knotting techniques. The Guild was founded in 1982 and is
now a UK registered charity dedicated to “furthering interest in practical, recreational and
theoretical aspects of knotting.” Publications include the quarterly newsletter Knotting
Matters. Members are a friendly crowd, with a worldwide membership, one-quarter of
which is located within the US.

Geoffrey Budworth was a founder member in 1982 of the International Guild of Knot
Tyers and continues to play a leading role on the world’s knotting scene. For his expertise
in connection with knotted clues found and preserved at scenes of crime he has been called
“the father of forensic knotting.”
Jason Dalton has spent most of his recreational life outdoors and is a member of the Blue
Ridge Mountain Rescue Group (BRMRG). He has taught numerous knot-tying and
pioneer skills classes to everyone from rescue workers to Boy Scouts.
