Week 38: Crafting
Let’s explore rope on its own, rope as a craft. Rope was meant to be a tool in the first place. Making things out of rope can be utilitarian or a form of creative expression. Going back to the roots is an important part of exploration to get a deeper understanding of the medium
The goal of this week is to make things with rope, play with different ideas and get creative with it.
