Rope Practicum:
A Community SkillShare 

&

Study Hall

COST: FREE FOR Studio MEMBERS and Students - $5 GUESTS

4th Sundays
12p - 3p

Rope Practicum is a friendly and collaborative space where rope enthusiasts come together to share, learn, and grow in their practice. Whether you’re a top, bottom, switch, or self-tier, this community-driven event offers a chance to ask questions, troubleshoot techniques, exchange skills, and dive into meaningful discussions about rope bondage. Our goal is to create a welcoming environment where everyone—newbies and seasoned practitioners alike—can expand their knowledge and refine their craft through open-source, community-led learning.

Please note, Rope Practicum is not a play space. While playfulness is welcome, this is a space focused on learning and discussion, not on scenes or play. To keep the atmosphere conducive to education, studio lights will remain on, and music will be off.

This isn’t a traditional class, nor do we operate within a teacher-student hierarchy. We encourage everyone to contribute, whether you’re offering your expertise or exploring new ideas. Our inclusive approach means that all are welcome, regardless of experience level or role within rope dynamics.

Examples of What We Can Explore Together:

  • Asking and answering questions—whether community-wide or personal interests
  • Reviewing and practicing techniques from recent studio classes or intensives
  • Troubleshooting knots, variations (like munter hitches, 3rd rope variations), and rope management
  • Deepening conversations around topics like active bottoming, risk assessment, nerve pathways, consent, negotiation, and more
  • Workshopping specific ties, positions, or sequences
  • Exploring “soft skills” like connective rope, ichinawa, or intricate finger/toe ties
  • Discussing the history and adaptation of Japanese rope bondage practices
  • Offering and receiving feedback on your ties for improvement

Come with curiosity, and leave with new insights, connections, and skills. Rope Practicum is all about fostering a supportive, interactive community where everyone’s journey is valued!
