Instructors from the RopeLabs team will guide you through the foundations of Japanese rope bondage, also known as Shibari. You will learn core safety concepts, basic theory, and a small set of beginner-friendly knots. These are practical ties you can use at home that also form the base for more complex work later. This is a peer-based workshop aimed at complete beginners. No prior experience is needed. Singles, pairs, and small groups are all welcome. The workshop runs in lab mode. It is purely educational: there is no sexual content and everyone remains fully clothed. Even so, the space is 18+ and sober, with zero tolerance for alcohol or intoxication. Please bring: - Non-stretch rope if you have it: roughly 5-8mm thick, 5-10m long, natural fibre preferred. We'll have practice rope too. - A cushion or blanket so you can sit comfortably on the floor. - Fitted clothing if you can: it makes tying easier than loose layers. Places are limited by the workshop lottery, then and allocated on a first come, first served basis.
