You have done some tying on the floor and are ready to dive deep into the geekery. Or you want to polish your technical skills further.
In this workshop, we will dive deep into the frictions for tying on the floor. We will practice using counter tension, the direction changer/half hitch, and the munter hitch. It’s all about drills and understanding why things work the way they do!
The content includes two knots for the single column tie and a discussion about the functional properties of each. We will also learn how to make an in-line single column tie.

Who is this event for?
LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,
Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.
When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.
Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
