Traditional Shibari

Rope as wearable art. Shibari as creative expression.

 

This is where rope becomes art.

 

This three-level program is for those who want to do more than just tie knots—it’s for people who want to create with rope. You’ll start with the fundamentals: clean tension, body-safe technique, and essential harnesses. As you move up, you’ll explore composition, patterning, visual flow, and how to shape the body with intention. The work becomes more intricate, more expressive—and entirely your own.

 

You can take the full program—beginner, intermediate, and advanced—or explore individual Technique Classes if you’re looking to sharpen specific skills.

New to all of this? Learn the fundementals with a Shibari 101 class to get your hands on the rope and see what it’s all about.

 

Object And Form

Shibari-inspired rope art, off the body and into space.

 

Not all ropework needs a human anchor. This class is for anyone who wants to explore the structural and creative side of shibari without worrying about anatomy or partner communication. The intro class teaches how to work with inanimate objects using traditional rope and knotting techniques. We play with balance, shape, and tension to build designs that feel both grounded and free.

 

The advanced class opens things up. You’ll start crafting your own rope-based installations or decor—pieces that use suspension concepts, framing techniques, and layering to turn simple rope into visual art. Think still-life, abstract patterns, or ambient structures that hold their own energy. This class is about freedom, experimentation, and giving shape to what you feel.

Knots And Crafts

Decorative knotting with purpose, presence, and style.

 

This one’s for the hands-on makers. We take time-honored knotting techniques and turn them into practical, beautiful pieces—lanyards, bracelets, mats, and more. The intro class gives you a set of essential knots and walks you through creating a finished piece you can actually use or gift. Along the way, we explore what these knots can mean—how they show up in stories of resilience, patience, and strength.

 

In the advanced class, we level up. More complex knotting, more refined designs, and space to turn each creation into something that reflects where you’re at. These classes aren’t just about making stuff—they’re about slowing down, working with intention, and finding focus through rope. Whether you’re tying a trilobite bracelet or an ocean plait mat, this is functional art with a heartbeat.
