Art of Shibari: An Intro To Japanese Rope Bondage
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.
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.
Details:
-
Rope provided (feel free to bring your own rope and safety shears).
-
Come with a partner or solo — you’ll be fully supported either way.
-
No experience needed, just curiosity and an open mind.
Leave with more than new knots: leave with a new language of touch, connection, and desire.
