This class focuses on the physical dance between your hands and your rope. You’ll learn essential finger techniques like the hook and scissors grips, master smooth wrapping for better flow, and explore counter tensions and ladder wraps to keep things snug and functional. We’ll also talk about ergonomics, so your body moves efficiently and comfortably — no sore shoulders here! Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting more grace in their ropework.
Start here if you’re new to rope, want a solid foundation of shibari skills, or need to get back to basics. You’ll learn the “what” and the “how” of tying: handling your rope, basic knots, simple harnesses, and how rope can connect bodies and moods. We keep it relaxed, safe, and supportive.
You can come alone or with a partner. You can tie yourself or your partner. Alternatively, you can partner up with another participant.
You can but do not need to bring any ropes as we will provide workshop ropes for you.
The class starts at 7 pm sharp. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier so we can process your ticket and welcome you. Once the class has started we do not allow entry. You cannot transfer your ticket to another week. If you are not sure you can come, please purchase your ticket on the day as soon as you are absolutely sure you can make it.
