A hands-on, clothed workshop designed to explore flowing, intentional rope play that emphasizes connection, rhythm, and adaptable techniquesAbout this Event
This in-person class explores how rope bondage, including partnered, self-tying, and/or suspension, can be adapted to a wide range of bodies, abilities, and needs. With thoughtful technique and creative problem-solving, rope can be shaped to support pleasure, agency, and connection rather than evoking feelings of limitation.
You’ll learn practical tools and mindset shifts for making Shibari and general rope play more accessible, whether you’re working around physical or sensory challenges, unlearning discouraging messages, or simply looking for new ways to expand your practice.
No experience required—complete beginners and seasoned rope practitioners are equally welcome. If you’ve ever wondered whether rope could work for you, this class is an empowering place to find out.

ROPE NEEDS: Halliard will have some extra rope available for folx to use. You are welcome to bring your own rope if you have some. We will not be doing suspensions so any rope will do. Nylon or jute is preferred over cotton, but cotton is fine if that is what you have“
About your Instructor: Halliard is a seasoned bondage practitioner with over 5 years of experience in various forms of restraint and suspension. Their journey into bondage began with their partner, who introduced them to the art of Shibari as a form of therapy to help her reclaim her bodily autonomy after a traumatic experience. She affectionately calls it her "rope hug," and it has been a powerful tool for healing from past traumas and forming deep connection in their relationship. Halliard has dedicated themselves to mastering various forms of bondage, including floor and bedroom bondage, suspension, and self-suspension. They learned how to suspend their partner at Studio Friction and have also taken a weekend intensive with Shay Tiziano, author of "Tying and Flying: Bondage for Self-Suspension," to learn how suspension feels before they entrusted themselves with their partner’s life using rope. In addition to their personal practice, Halliard is actively involved in the BDSM community. They currently serve as the Dungeon Master for the 2nd Friday's Gateway Play partIES at the Denver Sanctuary, where they help create a safe and welcoming space for kinksters to explore their desires. They have also been a board member for the Left of the Slash Intensive Weekend for the past two years and are proud to be the Build 2nd to the director of the build crew for the 2025 Guild of Deviated Standards BDSM convention. Halliard also manages the 2nd and 4th Wednesday Rope Labs at Studio Friction. With their experience and knowledge, Halliard is both well-equipped and excited to share their expertise with others and help them navigate the world of bedroom bondage!
