The beginning of your rope journey starts with learning a few simple knots!About this Event
Hit Me Up: Tie Me Down
Welcome to the world of rope! Trixie LaPointe will lead you through all you need to get rolling on your rope journey. After an in depth chat about rope safety and precautions, we will dive into getting all bound up. By the end of the night you will know a proper single column tie, a double column tie, munter hitches, reverse tensions, hojo cuffs, how to add rope and how to store your rope. There will be lots of hands on help to make sure everything clicks and you go home knowing a few new tricks.
There are no prerequisites for this class! You can come with a partner or come alone. Self tying is possible with most of what we will cover. If you have rope, bring 2 hanks and safety shears. There will be rope to share, and some jute rope to purchase for $12 a hank.
About the instructor
Trixie LaPointe: Mistress Trixie LaPointe is a rope artist and disciplinarian based in NYC. She has been exploring rope and her dominance since late 2017. The proud proprietor of her own studio space La Maison Privée, where she holds various sessions as well as small classes and events.
Class will be run by Trixie LaPointe with assistance from Salem X and Anya Demure.
Salem X (he/they) is a queer, nonbinary rope switch, educator, and performer based in NYC. They co-founded T4T Jam, a rope jam for trans folks in Brooklyn. A playful sadomasochist, he loves rope that is sadistic, connective, and sometimes silly. His rope practice centers people in marginalized bodies, specifically BIPOC, trans, disabled, and fat folks.
Anya Demure is a rope bondage enthusiast, teacher, and performer with a lot of energy and a lot of hair! She is keen on creating and embodying interesting physical shapes, and delights in enduring physically challenging rope experiences. For her, rope bondage is endurance, sex, exercise, community, movement, art, collaboration, and mutual experience. She is also dedicated to promoting bottom-inclusive education and presentation, and fostering safe, friendly, and encouraging learning environments. She has been fortunate to teach, tie, and be tied in various communities in the US and abroad, but calls Brooklyn home.
