Rope Basics: Face Bondage

The face is a sensitive place to tie. It’s the home of many of our senses, the centre of expression and has a big impact on our emotions. In this workshop, we will explore tying the face with rope and string. We will augment and distort features, tease, stimulate and deprave the senses.

Please come to the workshop with a person you trust to carry your vulnerability. Bring with you 2 ropes and jute, hemp or cotton string (1-3 mm).

Important Note: Please arrive 15 minutes earlier as it takes time to process your vaccination results etc. at the door. We have also had a lot of people buy tickets and then not attend but ask for the possibility to come at a different date. Due to the pandemic, our classes are small and it is not possible to simply swap dates. Please also make sure you actually read the refund policy you are agreeing to. 💕

Note: The price is per pair.

Who is this event for?

LGBTQIA+ describes the full spectrum of non-mainstream sexual orientation and/or gender identity, meaning: lesbian, gay, bisexual, pansexual, transgender, non-binary, genderqueer/fluid,

Friends describes people of any and all kinds of gender and sexual identities who are aware and respectful of the necessity, needs, and boundaries of a queer safe(r) space and its marginalized community.

When you consider yourself a friend you show acknowledgement to and are respectful of everyone’s self-expression and do not assume, presume or project non-consensual ideas onto others. You actively request and use people’s chosen pronouns. You remain mindful of the fact that Karada House is first and foremost a space for queer people that you are also invited to attend. You have a genuine concern for the well-being of LGBTQIA+ people and remain in awareness of heterosexual and gender straight privileges.

Friends don’t have to be perfect. None of us are. We request that we all pro-actively work and strive to be good friends and allies to marginalized people.
