The Rope Collective’s Floor Series: Knots + Frictions

This event will take place at Studio in Barrio Logan, San Diego. Visit the Contact + Location tab of our website for studio access information.

EVENT DETAILS:

Part of our Core Curriculum and the final part of our “Floor Series”! This beginner-level workshop is designed for those looking to refine their tying techniques through an understanding of various knots, tensions, lock-offs, and friction ties that form the backbone of most rope bondage patterns. Through detailed descriptions and hands-on practice, we will create secure, aesthetic structures with a good set of building blocks we can use throughout our practice.

These techniques will be the prerequisites to the “Fly Series”.
