Rope Processing & Maintenance
June 28 @ 2:00 pm – 5:00 pm
This will be a lecture type class with some demonstration. If time permits we may do a little hands on maintenance/repairs of ropes. Because of the environment, hands on rope processing will not happen at this event. (It can get a little messy and smelly)
Daremo will cover many topics around the tool used for rope bondage, the rope. First he will talk about the types of ropes (and other things) used for rope bondage. There will be a large section on different ways one can process ropes, mainly hemp and jute rope. This will range from basically no treatment to what could almost be a day long process. How and what you decide to do as part of your processing routine will be up to you.
The other big section will be on care and maintenance of your ropes. This section will mostly apply to jute rope, with some parts that apply also to hemp and other ropes. Daremo will discuss different options for things that may help prolong the life of your rope, and maybe things to avoid that may shorten their life. He will also show how to repair some of the small problems people sometimes encounter like high stranding or jumped strands.
