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
Other gear you want to play with
Comfortable clothes in which you can move freely, tank tops or shorts are ideal, or any yoga/sport clothes. you are allowed to tie topless, bottoms stay on.
A bottle of water (leak proof) and some snacks.
A pair of sandals/flip flops to get to the toilet, since they are not directly inside the studio.

Need Ropes?
Some times we have ropes available to purchase. please mail us about this. If not you can find Shibari Ropes at Mail & Female, this link gives you a 10% discount on your first purchase.
We advise to get both ropes and rope butter and treat them before the workshop for them to be softer and easy to use.
