Max and Lover's Lair Present Fundamentals of Rope Bondage - Part 1 (SOLD OUT)
Want to add more bondage to your life?
Wish you felt - and looked - more confident with your rope work?
Questions about safety, style or what kind of rope to use?
Looking for knots that work well, are easy to tie and you can actually remember?
Looking for folks who share your interest in rope bondage?
Join Max for the always-popular "Fundamentals of Rope Bondage" class.
Workshop format
This workshop begins with an overview of rope bondage techniques and materials, with lots of "show and tell" items and pointers on buying appropriate bondage materials.
The remainder of the class is a hands-on workshop, full of useful knots and easy-to-tie positions. By the end of the workshop you will have some basic skills and will be able to tie up your partner with grace and confidence.
If you can, come with a practice partner. If you don't have a partner, come anyway and we'll make sure you get a chance to practice the basic techniques.
Some rope will be provided for the workshop, but bring the following if you can:
(1) 10-foot piece of 6mm or 8mm
(1) 30-foot piece of 6mm or 8mm
As always, the emphasis is on learning and having fun.
Who should attend?
No prior knowledge of bondage or knots is assumed for this class - it's perfectly appropriate for beginners. If you've already done some bondage it's a great way to tune up your technique.
This workshop assumes no previous BDSM experience and is appropriate for all genders, all orientations, and for both tops and bottoms.
You may attend alone or with a partner. Please buy a ticket for each attendee.
Rope Bottoms - this is your chance to meet some rope tops - come learn and get tied up!
Afterwards
Attendees will receive an illustrated handout full of principles, safety information, basic technique, and plenty of pictures and instruction to help you practice the knots and ties in this workshop.
Attendees will also receive a 20% discount for purchases at Lover's Lair.
Max will be available after the workshop to help you shop for rope and bondage gear.
