The Rope Collective’s Floor Series: Knots + Frictions

This event will take place at Studio in Barrio Logan, San Diego. Visit the Contact + Location tab of our website for studio access information.

EVENT DETAILS:

Part of our Core Curriculum and the final part of our “Floor Series”! This beginner-level workshop is designed for those looking to refine their tying techniques through an understanding of various knots, tensions, lock-offs, and friction ties that form the backbone of most rope bondage patterns. Through detailed descriptions and hands-on practice, we will create secure, aesthetic structures with a good set of building blocks we can use throughout our practice.

These techniques will be the prerequisites to the “Fly Series”.

RECOMMENDED ITEMS TO BRING:

Wear clothing that allows you to feel comfortable, empowered or expressive. This is not a play party and all guests will be encouraged to come in clothing that comfortable and/or expressive in ways that feel good to them but required to keep under garments on and pelvic area covered. We suggest something that you might wear to move freely without feeling restricted. Separate top and bottom that allows you to expose legs, arms, and belly may feel good for the interactive portions of this workshop but is optional.

Please bring anything else that allows you to feel comfortable and we ask that you limit usage of strong perfumes/aromas to support a variety of sensory needs. Here's a list of items we use throughout most of our events, classes + workshops that will support your experience.
