Rope Lab
Are you looking to boost your rope skills and build community at the same time? Then our Rope Lab is for you! Rope lab is a space for those who want to practice rope in community with other rope enthusiasts! There is no direct, structured lesson plan; the space is intended to just be a practice space and time to gather and enjoy tying in community together. Attendees can use the time to practice, chill, meet people and network with ropey folx, or skillshare with others. Time can be used for both partner tying or self-tying. Snacks and another instructor will be present to answer questions and provide support. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing - tighter clothing is easier to tie on top of than baggy clothes or jeans.
