Join us for a fascinating and enjoyable evening exploring the art of rope making and knot tying, where traditional skills meet creativity and design. This talk will delve into how rope is made, the purpose and beauty of different knots, and how these time-honoured techniques have been used both practically and creatively.

You’ll discover how simple materials can be transformed into strong, useful, and surprisingly decorative forms, with examples that highlight texture, structure, and craftsmanship. Along the way, we’ll explore how these skills can inspire textile artists and makers, offering fresh ideas that translate beautifully into quilting, textile work, and other creative projects.

This is a relaxed, welcoming session designed to spark curiosity and inspiration rather than technical mastery; perfect for anyone who enjoys learning about traditional crafts and finding new creative influences.
