Practice Class
If you're not exactly looking for a workshop, but would love to get feedback on your tying skills, we welcome you to our 3-hours Practice Class. Experienced teachers will check your technique and share their insights, with your questions as the starting point. Depending on what participants bring to the table, every practice class will be different.
​
As a rope top you will be exploring your creativity to safely, effectively and aesthetically restrain your partner. Extra skills will be added to your repertoire.As a rope bottom you will discover how different manipulations by your partner and the ropes affect you. You will start to build a new (non-verbal) vocabulary to communicate with your rope top and stay connected during your play.
