Basic Knotcraft: Learn Some Useful Knots and Their Practical Applications
Knots are essential in many technical recreation activities, but also can be helpful in daily life, including endeavors in gardening, decorating, attaching things to a vehicle roof rack, creating tire swings, securing boxes, etc. Well-tied knots are also aesthetically pleasing and fun to tie. In this interactive workshop, participants will learn to tie some useful knots, and we will discuss some practical applications of the knots they learn. No prior experience is necessary.
Workshop Time and Date: 7-8:30 p.m. CST; Wednesday, July 8
