Events Calendar
Rope Study Group is a four week, in person rope class that focuses on a specific set of skills for the four week session.
Our next four week session will be
The Anatomy of a Harness
Join us for this 201 series that will help you fine tune, adapt, modify, and build structurally sound harnesses and ties.
The objective of this series is to hone and improve your fundamental technical rope skills. We are going to be introducing some additional steps to harnesses covered in the 101 series to make them more structurally sound. We will also be showing how to add in modifications or adaptations to harnesses to accommodate your bottom's specific needs.
You might like this class if:
- You took a Rope Study Group 101 and would like to learn more
- You can tie harnesses but do not understand the structure or purpose of them
- You are interested in getting into partial suspension but do not know how to bridge the gap between your basic skills and partial suspensions
- You want to learn more structured ties
Prerequisites: Tops must be able to tie a non-collapsing single column, double column, know how to lay wraps, and know basic frictions.
This class is taught from the perspective of a tying pair. It is not ideal for self-tiers.
Cost: $20 per person for the entire series
Dates: October 21st, October 28th, November 11th, November 18th
Time: 7pm-9pm. We will start promptly at 7pm.
Location: The Woodshed Red Dungeon
Attendance is limited. Please only register if you plan to attend and you are able to attend all 4 classes. Your place will not be held until you register on the Eventbrite so be sure to register if you plan to attend.
Everyone must wear a mask at all times. Be sure to read the Woodshed's COVID precautions for more details.
Expectations
- By registering for this course, you are agreeing to attend all four classes.
- Please do not sign up if you are not able to attend all four classes as each class will build on the knowledge shared in the previous class.
- By registering, you are agreeing to set time aside each week to practice. This series will introduce a new skill or concept each week and it's important to practice what you learn.
- Please come to class on time. We will start promptly at 7pm.
What if I don't have a bottom/top?
This class is not self tie-er friendly! If you are not a self tie-er and you do not have a bottom or top, people are able to find someone to tie with at class, if that is in their comfort level (however that is not mandatory and it is not guaranteed that you will find a partner). If you are coming alone, do not be discouraged! Everyone is encouraged to learn these skills on themselves as that is a great way to practice.
Do I need rope?
Due to COVID-19 we do not have loaner natural fiber rope. It is highly encouraged that you bring your own rope (and also have rope at home to practice with). Rope can be purchased at the Woodshed or online (some helpful places are MyNawashi and TwistedMonk. You can message @nevertheless or @12cats on FetLife for links and suggestions depending on your needs). It is suggested you bring 3-5 hanks (pieces) of 8 meters of rope.
What else should I bring?
Please bring a notebook and writing utensil, a rope cutting tool, and rope. If you need help or have questions about cutting tools or rope, please message 12cats or nevertheless.
