Upcoming Events
An Iridescent Evening hosted by Conor Aphilia
If you missed his last performance at Spnkd this is your chance, we will start the evening with a captivating performance by Conor Aphilia & Eveline, whose intimate scene will set the tone for the night.
Once they’ve worked their magic, the studio transforms into our playground, a space for exploration, connection, and the creation of an intimate atmosphere.
We invite you to immerse yourself in a connective and intimate experience, offering a splendid opportunity to explore rope bondage and any complementary BDSM practices in a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Our approach to a fulfilling rope experience emphasizes communication as a crucial element.
We wencourage participants to engage in conversation before play, speak up during scenes, and check in afterward.
Respecting boundaries is paramount—know your limits, honour others’, and remember that it’s always acceptable to say “no” or “not today.”
We view rope play as a collaborative effort, with both rigger and bottom sharing responsibilities, looking out for each other, and fostering a supportive atmosphere.
By adhering to this approach, we can fully appreciate the joy, connection, and creativity that rope play can bring, ensuring our knots and scenes are meaningful.
This event is suitable for absolute beginners to experienced practitioners and different tying styles.
You are welcome by yourself or with your own partner.

We will have bamboos and single suspension points.

Rope for Romantics
Fluency with the body allows for storytelling. In a fun and carefree environment, we will cover the core positions of our practice and undertake exercises to understand your partner's body.
Play is at the heart of this practice and will open up areas for creativity and exploration.
We will explore mindful movement focusing on listening to your partner and tuning into their natural rhythm.
When we feel in sync with our partners, movement becomes intuitive. It then becomes possible to modulate the quality of touch to communicate an emotion or feeling with each gesture.
The gestures and movements created will act as phrases and will be used to weave a non-linguistic narrative
Our approach emphasizes consent, communication, and mutual respect with a focus on using consent as a tool for compassion.
This one-day workshop has been co-devised by Conor and Eveline and presents a personal and intimate look into their approach to rope at the intersection of performance and romance. Regularly using themes of tenderness, anticipation and longing, their practice pairs the performative aspects of play with dynamic and considered movement. This workshop will explore the theatre of movement and how body manipulation and somatic composition are essential to unlocking and exploring the juicy, hypnotic emotional landscapes of rope.
The workshop will be predominantly floor-based, using just a few ropes to explore the nuances of this emotional landscape.
Conor Aphilia (he, they, his)
Shibari-focused SWer, educator, and the owner of Aphilia Studio in London. His practice integrates rope as an extension of his broader k1nk interests, using it to explore nuanced and often challenging emotional and physical states. Regularly working with beginners and those new to the practice, his body-centric and intentional approach is shaped by professional experience, ensuring that each encounter is a dialogue rather than a predetermined experience. For Conor, Shibari is a tool for physical communication, where aesthetics, compositions, and patterns are guided by the needs of the scene and the individuals involved. His work prioritizes safety, exploration, and the creation of new emotional spaces in which people can navigate their experiences with excitement and care.
Informed by the techniques and aesthetics of Japanese masters, Conor has developed an inclusive style that welcomes individuals of all backgrounds. His years of study have led to a distinctive blend of Western and Eastern influences, further shaped by his background in design. This evolving approach to rope play transcends traditional boundaries, celebrating diversity and fostering deeper connections through sensuality, trust, and artistic expression.
Eveline
Drawn to the beauty and perversion of struggle, Eveline was captivated by Shibari—a language of tension, control, and surrender that spoke to her in ways nothing else could. Her six years in the kink scene have been a journey of exploration, transformation, and deep connection, with rope becoming the most profound expression of her desires. With a background in dance, movement is instinctual, and in rope, she doesn’t just endure—she moves, plays, and breathes within the constraints. Her performances are a delicate balance of resistance and release, sensuality and suffering, where each tie speaks of longing, defiance, and the raw vulnerability of surrender.

This workshop is not suitable for absolute beginners; fluency in single-column and the basics of rope handling are minimum requirements.

Rope Salon
April’s Rope Salon is here!
Join us, let’s tie! This is a social event, designed for you to tie with your own partner or with new rope-minded people.
The perfect open studio setting to explore, practice and connect in an inclusive queer-led environment.
If it is in your practise, our lovely studio have several suspension points, bamboo and single points (bring your own suspension ring).
With our splendid music taste and cosy lighting we will set the mood for a great rope evening together.
Ropes are our love language!
What to expect?
We start the evening with a quick introduction circle. It works as a quick forecast to know who’s in the mood for rigging, being tied up, or switching. It is always fun to start with a group activity to break the ice and warm up. These activities can be either rope- or communication-oriented. After this, we indulge in rope play: lights get cozier, music volume goes up, and we tie.
Important.
Consent and negotiation are super sexy. We are diving into an activity in which the responsibility is divided 50/50, and your partner can only know as much as you share with them.
Know your boundaries not only related to intimacy and play but also physically. We can have the more fun when we guide our partners with clear communication.
Last but no least, play onlky with techniques you are familiar with, we only play safe.
What to bring?
Your own Ropes

TK Lab
This class focuses on the theoretical foundations of the TK, a fundamental shibari tie.
The TK is versatile and incorporates many essential elements, such as tension, body mechanics, frictions, and safety considerations.
Gorgone emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all approach due to differences in style, priorities, body types, and needs.Key topics covered include:
• Variations of the TK: Exploring different styles and adaptations based on individual requirements.
• Safety and Placement: Understanding nerve safety and effective rope placement to avoid injuries.
• Building Blocks of Rope Bondage: Learning how the TK integrates core techniques like tension control and body manipulation.
• Insights from experience: Gorgone shares over a decade of knowledge in practicing and refining this tie.
This class sets the stage for practical applications by providing a comprehensive understanding of the TK’s structure and purpose.
Gorgone
(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.
Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.
Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences.
She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness.
With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.
The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".
For whom is this workshop?
It is suitable for beginners to advance Riggers.
Rigger and model, switching rolls is not allowed.
This is a partnered/couples only, not solo participants.
The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.
All levels, styles and dynamics are welcome.

Chaotic Bodies
Torment, Pleasure and Courage
This is an advanced workshop focusing on exploring a more extreme and tortuous approach to rope. The modules of this class are less generic and demand from both part a stronger sense of adaptation to less predictable structures.
This workshop is more challenging for the body-mind, playing and experimenting with more painful and chaotic structures and processes. While «Fly Strong» and «Dynamic Bodies» focus on understanding the body in order to navigate within its limits and optimise comfort and predictability, the goal here is to 'negotiate with the body-mind‘ in order to push it closer or beyond its limits.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Advanced Workshop- Riggers should master suspension line management before attending this class. Riggers and models should have experience tying together and feel comfortable sharing exercises focusing on the eroticising of suffering and vulnerability.

Dynamic Bodies
This is a full day workshop addressed to riggers and models interested in exploring dynamic suspensions and transitions.
The content of this weekend focuses on a more acrobatic and athletic approach to rope suspension. The sequences are fast paced, technically challenging and physically taxing for the models.
The program aims to help both riggers and models develop mutual awareness and autonomy in order to successfully support each other in the process of executing a more dynamic and challenging suspension sequence. The goal is to learn how to use and enjoy various states of mind-body such as tension and relaxation, stress positions and resting positions, autonomous movement and surrender…
(NOTE: Advanced Workshop - Riggers should master suspension line management before attending this class; the sequences are challenging and models should not suffer unnecessarily because riggers hesitate with their up-lines.)

Fly Strong
This program was designed to help build/restore confidence in the model’s body and capabilities as well as reinforcing the rigger’s understanding of rope-body mechanics in suspension.
It is ideal for riggers and models new to suspension or feeling stuck in their progress due to insecurities on either side of the rope.
The main focus of this workshop is the research for the optimal use of the body in ropes and how to achieve 'comfortable' suspensions, concentrating on positional studies rather than complex sequences.
The goal is to develop more awareness, confidence and autonomy in both partners in order to achieve stronger partnerships and more rewarding experiences.
Gorgone
(she/they) is a French rope switch and co-founder of Shibari Study.
Their method and approach to rope is deeply influenced by their interest and personal practice of conscious movement together with 10+ years of intense professional experience on both sides of the rope.
Their teaching is directed to both riggers and models, guiding them into developing active, conscious and efficient partnerships in order to create safer and more successful rope experiences.
She takes time to deconstruct everything she teaches, from the most basic to the most complex ties, and always addresses both the rope’s and body’s mechanics of a tie or position. Her pedagogy focuses on encouraging and developing technical autonomy, freedom and creativity in the student’s practice while maintaining a fundamental background of safety, knowledge and awareness.
With Gorgone you will not only learn the ‘how’ but also the ‘why’ behind each tie so you can adapt or modify a harness or position to each new partner and situation and fully incorporate it into your own unique practice.
The heart of Gorgone's tying and teaching is the idea that Shibari is not about "rope - on the body” but about "the body - in rope".
For whom is this workshop?
This is a partnered/couples only, not solo participants. Switching rolls is not allowed.
Important skills required for this workshop: Practitioners that are able to do partial suspension and are confident doing suspension lines.
The workshop offers valuable information for both model and rigger.
All levels, styles and dynamics are welcome
What to bring?
Your own set of ropes, at least 8 to 10 full length (8 meters) and 2 to 4 half length.
We will be practicing on the floor, we have yoga matts, blankets and pillows but feel free to bring your own if you prefer.

Motion and Intention
This is a floor-based workshop mixing rope techniques and movement/embodiment practices.
Gorgone and her model will discuss and demonstrate the importance of posture, movement, body language and spatiality in a rope session.
How you choose to place yourself around your partner, finding your points of balance and imbalance, exploring each other's centre of gravity and being intentional about how you move your own and your partner's body will greatly affect the mood of your rope scenes.
Everyone's body and mobility is different, so it is important to explore and develop your own language. This class doesn't aim to tell you what to do or not to do, but rather to invite you to explore this communication tool and find what works for you and your partners.
Shibari can be highly technical and intricate but before losing ourselves in the fancy techniques, we should remember that bondage can also be a sensual, playful and emotional practice.
It is not about "rope - on the body" but about "the body - in rope

Self-tying for Beginners
Self-tying was my first step into rope bondage. I started it as a way to manage anxiety, connect with my body, and overcome stress, enjoying surprising mindfulness benefits.
Practicing self-tying not only let me experience how rope bondage feels but also helped me quickly develop skills I now use when tying a partner.
This workshop is a great way to start your rope journey, whether you want to tie yourself or build confidence in your practice before using your skills with a partner.
Workshop’s content:
Basics of ties, knots, frictions, you'll receive expert guidance on achieving the right tension.
Exploring techniques and freestyle for every part of our body.
Self awareness excersices.
Risk and safety.
Join me in this class, and let's explore together all the different benefits that a self-tying rope bondage practice can offer.
Will be a great fun.
