Rope Office Hours

Rope Office Hours is a rope bondage focussed cooperative centred on increasing the knowledge base and safety of the local community alongside overarching efforts to grow and support kink, queer and affiliated communities. We endeavour to provide a body and sex positive space where rope is accessible for anybody who chooses to learn – whether you choose to tie, be tied or both – with particular efforts on ensuring a supportive and welcoming environment for marginalised groups. Throughout everything we do, we are heavily consent oriented through the frame of intersectionality and prioritise respectful and informed communication.

He is tied in an arms-in-front chest harness and a decorative hip harness is being tied down one of his thighs. The man has long tight curly hair which coils on the ground, contrasting with the sharp yellow lines of the rope.

Crew-led Events

Incorporating both beginner and intermediate sessions, our knowledgeable crew members lead workshops on a whole host of areas of rope bondage.

Orange ink and watercolour illustration of a naked fat person tied and suspended in a face-up shibari suspension. She has a patterned blindfold over her eyes, and hair-rope pulling her neck back towards her ankles, and then her ankles to the small of her back. The rope on her thighs, waist and chest compresses and accentuates her shape.

Guests

We are excited to be welcoming guests from all over the world to lead classes.

The Black woman is gently holding the other person's neck and cheek whilst she pulls on a rope, intensifying the hair-rope pulling upwards from her partner's wavy dark hair. Both people have a futomomo tied on one leg. A green wash is used throughout.

RopeSpace

Our open and relaxed play space to enjoy and explore in an atmospheric setting with lower lighting and music – occurring 3-4 times a year.

While we do not strictly observe one particular style, the rope bondage we teach is closer to Japanese-inspired (i.e. Shibari, Kinbaku) than Western style. We place particular focus on the embodied experiences of everyone involved, connection and communication between the tying partners, and aesthetics of form and movement. As well as forms and patterns, we teach why we tie the way we do, how to adapt your ties and improvise, how to move with the rope and your tying partners, and relevant anatomy and safety considerations. To find out more about our values please familiarise yourself with our rules, etiquette and anti-abuse policy.
