This class will quickly dive into foundational rope bondage techniques. Then those techniques, along with demonstrations and class participation, will show how you can manipulate a partner's body, use each other's energy, and use a rope or two to journey together.

Love sharps but find yourself resistant to pretty patterns and meditative scenes? Wanna use stabby things to express your cute aggression? Ready to learn and share devious new uses for the pokey things already in your toy bag? Then this class is for you! Join us as we learn to craft scenes that feature sharps as tools of bondage, deprivation, body modification, fear, absurdity, and pain. We’ll walk through techniques, implements, and placements that safely prioritize carnal and creative suffering. Sharps experience not required but useful; wicked inventiveness useful but not required.

Rope is more than just knots—it’s a conversation. This class begins with interactive rope-handling drills designed to refine your movement, control, and connection. Through playful exercises with a partner, you’ll explore how variations in tension, speed, and intent shape the experience of tying.

Once we’ve warmed up, we’ll apply these concepts to a single rope tie, often called ichinawa (“one rope”) in Japanese. This simple yet powerful approach highlights how small choices in application can completely transform the energy and emotion of a scene. Whether you want to create comfort, control, anticipation, or challenge, this class will help you refine your skills and bring more intention into your rope practice.
