Playing on the edge

14. February 2025, 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm

Welcome the fear and struggle! This workshop explores how we can craft more intense, sadistic, and sometimes frankly bizarre predicaments and crueler ties with rope. There will be some demonstrations to inspire you, as well as discussions to explore how we can approach this type of play. Every person has different limits, limitations, and motivations, how can we discover and utilize this to create ties that play on each individual’s unique criteria. Let’s explore.

 

Details:

Format: hands-on workshop, demonstration

Minimum Knowledge Level: This workshop will show demonstrations involving suspension lines – though participants are encouraged to work at their own level – chairs/beds/ and floor ties will also be used/ can be adapted for.

This class will be recorded (only the facilitator, not the participants) and is available for ticket holders for 30 days after the event.
