Pretty Rope on the Red Carpet - Class One

About Event

For many people rope means suspension and bondage.  While those are two wonderful aspects of rope, it has a beauty that transcends any particular use. This class series will focus on the beauty of rope and the connection it can foster between people. This being awards season, what better way to celebrate pretty rope than a trip down the red carpet!

The first class on Wednesday 1/17 (7-11 pm) will cover:

• Safety
• Basic knots used in pretty rope such as half hitches, cow's hitches and munters
• Flow techniques with rope
• The class will culminate in using these skills to tie a karada harness (non-suspendable) and then experiment with alterations and additions

No skills or pre reqs, this is a beginner friendly event. If possible bring 5-6 hanks of 30 ft rope. The studio has a limited amount of rope to loan if you don't have your own. These classes can be done with a partner or solo (self-tie).

Although put together as a series, you don’t need to attend all 3 classes, and the first two classes aren’t pre reqs for attending the Red Carpet Event in March.

Who Is this Class For: Anyone of any skill level who would like to learn, practice and show off their pretty rope.

About the Presenters

Dulcinea discovered rope in 2017, and having a lifelong love of textiles, art and personal connection she quickly gravitated to pretty rope.  Her natural style is less structured and free flowing, she takes a 'let’s see where the rope leads us' approach.  She loves all things rope and has become a respected teacher and mentor in the community.

SilverFoxIndeed leans toward symmetrical and structured rope patterns, and likes the connection between two or more people when they collaborate to make living art.  He met Dulcinea in 2018, in fact she taught him his first Rope 101 course!  He and Dulcinea quickly became friends and she became his mentor and biggest fan.
