What this workshop is about:

Step into a world where touch, rope, and imagination entwine. This two-hour workshop is your chance to discover the erotic art of Shibari — Japanese-inspired rope bondage — in a way that’s playful, safe, and deeply connective.

What this workshop covers:

Led by The Artyst Kiink— a qualified sexologist, kink and alt-relationship specialist, and rope artist with 11 years of experience— you’ll be guided through both the philosophy and the practice of rope. With workshops already taught in London, Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane, The Artyst Kiink knows how to create spaces where curiosity turns into confidence.

Together, we’ll cover the essentials: consent, communication, and boundaries. Then you’ll learn a handful of beautiful and versatile ties designed not only to spark sensuality in the workshop, but also to give you practical skills you can take home and use right away to ignite intimacy, build trust, and explore new pleasures.

What to expect:
Leave with more than new knots: leave with a new language of touch, connection, and desire.

  • This workshop is for all genders and sexualities.
  • Many participants come alone or bring a friend.
  • Rope provided (feel free to bring your own rope and safety shears).
  • No experience needed, just curiosity and an open mind.
  • Maximum capacity of 30 people within an informal, intimate environment.
