with EbiBex & DWL

Price per pair: 

BOUND Members $40 |TIED Members $50 | WRAPPED Members $60

Our heads and faces are integral parts of our identity, and applying rope to these places can drastically alter the intensity and emotional aspects of a scene, in addition to physical stress and challenges. And where the head goes, the body usually follows. DWL will break down some of his favorite ways to use rope on the face and in the mouth for control and suffering, and he and EbiBex will share some of the emotional and mental experiences this type of rope can create. From pressure points to breathplay to degradation and objectification and sensory deprivation, a lot can be accomplished with a single well-placed face rope (and minimal effort, for you lazy sadists out there). DWL will also share his foolproof hair tie and the many ways it can be used to control a body - either in the air or on the ground. We’ll also discuss neck rope (that thing everyone says not to do, and does anyway!) and how to use it as safely as possible - or, how to be smart while doing stupid things. Some rope handling and basic rope safety knowledge is recommended for this class. Some rope handling and basic rope safety knowledge is recommended for this class.

About the Instructors:

EbiBex (she/her) is a queer, masochistic bottom advocate and educator who first discovered rope bondage when she was a wee baby kinkster, but in the last decade has been able to fully immerse herself in the rope scene alongside her partner, DWL. She, along with DWL, has participated in and taught at various North American events such as FIRE, Dark Odyssey events, NARIX, Snowbound, and RopeCraft, as well weekend intensives and workshops across the US and internationally. She considers herself very lucky to have learned from, tied and collaborated with some of the best rope people around the world, and is constantly striving to grow as a rope bottom, submissive, and community member. Bex primarily approaches rope as a type of intimate connection and partnership, as well as a form of artistic expression and exploration of suffering. She firmly believes rope bottoming should be accessible to everyone, and hopes sharing her experiences and knowledge will help others on their rope journeys in risk-aware, inclusive, enjoyable ways.

Though DWL (he/him) has been shooting various subjects casually and professionally for more than a decade, he found a new world of creative opportunity when he discovered fetish photography. Upon entering the kink scene ten years ago, he found new artistic opportunities and challenges in kink photography, as well as a passion for capturing the unique energy of a scene. DWL is known for his journalistic style of documenting play, chasing moments of emotion, connection, joy, and pain. His rope style is centered around controlled suffering and connection through creativity, and his artistic aesthetic is evident in his ties. He also enjoys collaborating with other creative minds to bring ideas and visions to life in front of his lens. He and his camera have appeared at various conventions, events, and workshops, and he continues to grow as a photographer, rigger, and educator. DWL is constantly trying new things and believes there is always more to learn. His favorite photo? “The one I haven’t taken yet."
