With Zach and Feral

Cost/Tying Pair: WRAPPED Member Price - $40 |

When: Sunday, March 30th 10 AM - 12:30 PM

Description:

In this class, you'll learn the essential techniques for tying the Tenshi Harness, a beautiful and versatile harness known for its dramatic and aesthetic looks, as well as its versatility. We’ll focus on the foundational skills required to create this harness with precision, exploring proper tension, body placement, and the flow of rope to ensure both "comfort" and sustainability in the harness. Perfect for intermediate/advanced riggers , this class will break down each step of the process, helping you add another tool that is great for torsions, back bends, and a suspendible point on the upper body to relieve chest compression. We'll be covering the pattern of the tenshis, as well as where/how to attach uplines for suspensions, partials, floorwork, and a quick suspension demonstration.

Required Pre-requisites & Equipment:

  • Comfortable and smooth tying a non-collapsing single column of your choice
  • Basic understanding of frictions or completion of B1 (Completion of I1 for suspension)
    • Minimum of (2) 30' hanks of rope
    • Recommend full suspension kit for those that want to test the harness

        About our instructors:

        Zach (he/him, fet: Sal__)

        Zach joined the shibari community in Denver in April 2024 as a rope top, diving deep into online self learning and local classes. Captivated by the intricate and difficult nature of the art, he finds excitement in presenting and capturing the resilience and strength of his partners with a focus on dynamic suspensions. He loves the connection created challenging his partners through shibari, turning a simple pile of rope into an intricate art, with a sadistic twist.

        Feral (she/they)

        Feral (she/they) was a rope bottom for years before she decided to take her ties into her own hands in 2023. She is inspired by rope as a means of self-expression, physical embodiment, mental transcendence, and connection. They particularly enjoy combining rope with her love of the outdoors.
