A summary

From choosing and preparing your materials to completing your cordage. This workshop includes how to make basic 2 strand string using a rope lay, understanding "s", and "z" twists, how to ply cords to make cables.
For those who wish to take things a step further we will try 3 and 4 strand cordage.
String is so useful and versatile that being able to make your own out of foraged materials is a must.
It is also rather addictive!
Remember - string is thin but rope is thicker, rope is strong but string is quicker.

As a primary school teacher I learnt how to share knowledge and to develop learners skills. As a forest school leader and survival skills instructor, I have put these elements together.
