        About our instructors:

        TheDude (he/him)

        TheDude has been tying for... a long time. Thanks to the opportunities provided by Denver Rope Bite and Studio Friction's efforts, he has had some amazing opportunities to learn from presenters around the globe. Pre-Covid he could often be found at parties and events having fun scenes, teaching and occasionally performing. These days he is focusing on play at home but still trying to build community through smaller, more focused, educational opportunities..

        BetwixtBlushes (she/her)

        BetwixtBlushes is a regular in the Denver scene since 2015. She is an enthusiast of discussion groups, bottoms speaking up (especially in class), and thigh high socks. If you hear giggling, she's often the culprit.

              Instructors:

              Marilyn (she/her, fet: _Marilyn_)

              Marilyn first entered the Denver rope community in 2019. After finishing the partnered curriculum in March 2020 (literally the Wednesday before Denver shut down!), Marilyn began self-tying as a way to maintain her rope skills. She quickly fell in love with the playful, energetic, and dynamic nature of it! She is happy to be back in Denver and to be exploring all that rope has to offer again, whether that's tying others, tying herself, or letting others tie her sometimes too.

              Marilyn identifies as a queer, polyamorous, kinky switch. She's passionate about relationship anarchy, arguing the semantics of language, and the value of building connections. She's excited to be engaging with the Denver rope community in a new, bigger way through teaching and curriculum development.

              Air – 'Perceived Pronouns' or She/They

              Air joined the public kink scene in 2016, with a primary focus in Japanese style rope bondage. Over the years, Air has worked with a multitude of highly skilled rope/bdsm practitioners, and soaked in their knowledge like a dirty lil sponge.

              As an avid self-tier, rigger, and rope bottom, Air has presented at both national and international level events. Air’s tying style can be described as calculating, attentive, creative, and hilariously sadistic.

              Their greatest joy is recognizing untapped potential of their students and fostering an inclusive environment. In Air’s classes you will learn new skills, get inspired to think outside the box, gain confidence, and enjoy a fuck-ton of laughter. Air’s enthusiasm and genuine delight for the experience shows in everything they instruct.

                    Kathryn has been a member of the Denver rope community since 2021. Initially captivated by Shibari’s blend of beauty and pain, she has fallen in love with the technical depth and artistry rope offers. She began her journey as a bottom, with a fondness for Futomomo inversions. In 2022, Kathryn decided to delve deeper into Shibari by learning to tie. Since then, she has dedicated herself to honing her skills as a rigger through meticulous attention to detail. Kathryn has a love for flowy, sensual, sweet ties with a dash of meanness sprinkled on top for spice.

                      Studio Friction's newest comedy show is hosted by our very own Chris Wellman. Chris is a kink & sex positive comedian who hosts both the Comedy & Kink and The Slut Down comedy shows in Denver.

                      The Knotty Show is part stand-up comedy show, part rope demonstration. Colorado's goofiest comedians perform their craft alongside a couple of kinksters doing a suspension. Sometimes the comics roll with it and sometimes the comics get all blushy & bashful. Either way, hilarity ensues!

                      This show is 21+, BYOB, and will have donation libations and pizza available. Patrons are still welcome to bring their own sodas, water bottles, beer, and wine to enjoy (no hard liquor).

                      Important Registration Information:

                      All attendees must register and pay online, no admittance or registration at the door.

                      • Photo ID is required to be admitted.

                              Brad/MrNeve (he/him)

                              Brad (FetLife: MrNeve) is a rope addict, a giggling sadist, and a passionate educator. He began his kink journey in the Nashville, TN area over 10 years ago, where he first found a love for impact play, D/s dynamics, and the curiosity to always try something new. He firmly believes rope is for everybody (and every body). Consent, negotiation, and safer play for newcomers are all topics that he loves. When he isn't tying, you'll find him hiking, cooking, or spending time with his dogs Zero and Nala.

                              Senna (she/her)

                              Senna is an avid self suspender, rope switch, and impact switch. A 21 year veteran of the kink community, Senna believes you can not teach unless you continue to learn. She is and will continue to be a student as well as an educator with a passion for helping beginners. Senna puts a heavy focus on radical honesty, open communication, and consent. In real life, she is an author, table top player, board gamer, and hiker. She talks far too much about Star Wars and Tolkien.

                                  The Next Generation (TNG) Night is back at Studio Friction! A special event for the younger folx under 35. TNG is great for those new and experienced with rope alike. It’s a safe space to try out rope for the first time while also building community among the next generation. Skill sharing is encouraged from experienced riggers. And of course, non-rope activities are allowed too.

                                  Schedule:

                                  • From 7:30-8pm there will be casual instruction on a basic knot and safety.
                                  • Pending the availability of experienced riggers, there may be an opportunity for rope tastings throughout the night.
                                  • Arrive by 8pm to allow our volunteers time to socialize/play too!

                                  TNG is especially good for people new to Studio Friction as it’s one of our few regular monthly events that is open to non-members.  

                                  Bring your rope and/or curiosity and come hang out at Studio Friction's TNG Night!

                                            Tight Lines: A kink life drawing event

                                            COST: Sliding scale $10/$15/$20

                                            Please bring your favorite drawing materials; we will be drawing the human form in an array of kinky activities. Obviously, there will be a strong focus on rope, and we will likely start there, but eventually, there will be a range of kinks represented. We will create a relaxed atmosphere to see and draw fun, sexy things. 

                                            If you are new to rope or kink, this will be a great low-pressure atmosphere to spend some time watching and drawing some beautiful kink. Models will pose for varying times in various kinds of positions. 

                                            If you don't have them, we will provide some basic materials, but certainly, bring your favorite sketchbook/tablet/easel and mark-making supplies. 

                                            Switchtext isn’t an art instructor, but he does have an art degree and has spent a lot of time in life drawing classes. He is happy to offer input and suggestions on your work if you would like. 

                                            If you are interested in posing and tying for these drawing sessions, reach out to nate@studiofriction.com

                                            This is a BYOB event; please drink responsibly. Glass is not allowed in the studio; please make sure to bring cans or a cup to pour your drink into.

                                                          Studio Friction's newest comedy show is hosted by our very own Chris Wellman. Chris is a kink & sex positive comedian who hosts both the Comedy & Kink and The Slut Down comedy shows in Denver.

                                                          The Knotty Show is part stand-up comedy show, part rope demonstration. Colorado's goofiest comedians perform their craft alongside a couple of kinksters doing a suspension. Sometimes the comics roll with it and sometimes the comics get all blushy & bashful. Either way, hilarity ensues!

                                                          This show is 21+, BYOB, and will have donation libations and pizza available. Patrons are still welcome to bring their own sodas, water bottles, beer, and wine to enjoy (no hard liquor).

TNG is great for those new and experienced with rope alike. It’s a safe space to try out rope for the first time while also building community among the next generation. Skill sharing is encouraged from experienced riggers. And of course, non-rope activities are allowed too.

                                                                Schedule:

                                                                • Pending the availability of experienced riggers, there may be an opportunity for rope tastings throughout the night.
                                                                • Arrive by 8pm to allow our volunteers time to socialize/play too!

                                                                TNG is especially good for people new to Studio Friction as it’s one of our few regular monthly events that is open to non-members.  

                                                                Bring your rope and/or curiosity and come hang out at Studio Friction's TNG Night!
