3.12.24 // Introduction to Japanese Bondage

This hands-on workshop is dedicated to getting you doing Japanese bondage (shibari), whether you're an absolute beginner or already have some experience. With a friendly, non-hierarchical approach, we will try to adapt the scope and depth of topics covered to meet the needs and speed of the group, within the limits of the online format. No matter what, you'll learn some basic knots and techniques so that you can tie independently well after the workshop is over. You get to be creative and have fun; we'll look after the technicalities, material, safety and some structural considerations.

Diversity of all kinds is not only welcome in this workshop, but a fundamental part of it!

Bring comfortable clothes and something to drink.
