WHY KNOT:
A KNOT TYING WORKSHOP
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 14TH, 2026
OWENWOOD FARM AND NEIGHBOR SPACE
1451 JOHN WEST ROAD DALLAS, TX
6:00PM - 8:00PM
Knot tying is both a practical skill and a creative craft, offering added strength, stability, and versatility to everyday tasks. Many knots can be quickly resized or adjusted, making them handy for securing gear, fastening tarps, or setting up temporary supports. On January 14th, join us for a hands-on workshop led by Glen McGee, who will introduce four essential knot types, explain their uses, and share how simple techniques can save you time, stress, and money in the garden and around your home. This introductory class is perfect for anyone looking to build confidence in this useful skill!
The class will be held at Owenwood Neighbor Space, 1451 John West Rd, Dallas. A water fountain and water bottle fill station are available. Park behind the building.
