This is an old class! Enjoy the notes, and check out the current courses.

You may not be an ice climber, arborist, fence maker, helicopter rescue specialist, sport fisherman, longshoreman, circus rigger, farmer, or kinky lover, but you'll be one step closer after learning the basics of knot-tying and ropework offered in this class.

Students will learn about what things that can be tied together are made of, why some knots are good and some are stupid, along with what's the working end, what's a bend and what's a bight.

You'll leave knowing how to tie something up, how to tie something down, how to tie two things together, how to tie a rope around something, and maybe how to make a toy for your dog to chew on.
