RopeMarks’ Kinbaku Essentials; Immersion workshop.

You can sign up here!

The Workshop

This is a clothes on, non-sexual workshop, but no doubt you’ll be inspired to bring your new skills into your private intimate play at home.

Level: Starter. 
Prerequisite: None.

Are you ready to dive into the world of rope? This workshop is your starting point to building a solid base. During this workshop we will take you step-by-step through the essentials of kinbaku, traditional Japanese rope bondage. You’ll learn how to fluently tie arms, legs, and how to combine different ties to play with the full body.

The ties we choose will help you to understand how you can use ‘frictions’ and other techniques to create the effect that you want. Which posture and sensations do you want to give your model? How do you do this in a way that looks aesthetic to you and how do you make sure that safety comes first? You’ll notice that this workshop will help you to improve your rope handling and your feeling for tying in general. Since everything we practice is suited for both pain and pleasure we’ll of course also pay attention to communication and all kinds of dynamics during play.

If you come to this workshop as a model, you get to experience ties on most body parts. This is a great opportunity to find out what you like and what you don’t like and to communicate with your rigger about the physical and mental effects of the tying process. This is a very important skill since the collaboration between the two of you decides how your play scene unfolds in terms of safety, sexiness, fun, depth, or whatever it is that you want to get out of your rope time!

You’ll come home with a solid Japanese rope bondage foundation and the skill to safe and playfully combine essential kinbaku elements.
