IT’S ALL ABOUT THE BLING – LEARNING THE HISHI (DIAMOND) PATTERN IN SHIBARI
The hishi (also referred to as diamond) pattern in Shibari is a popular pattern and can be tied using several techniques. Not only is it pretty but also functional. When used in a harness, it divides the body diagonally which makes the tie adjust to the body better and spreads the pressure of the ropes more evenly on the whole tie. Once you understand the principle you can incorporate them in futomomos, chest harnesses, body binders and leg binders.
Rope enthusiasts of all competence levels are welcome to come learn and explore rope with us!
EMBODIMENT
Embodiment Rope Space is a welcoming and safe(r) space for members of the LGBTQIA+ community and allies. We practice rope and shibari communally and host occasional workshops for upskilling the community. Rope/Shibari is never safe, there are only ways to do it more safely.
Absolute beginners and experienced rope practitioners are welcome. Rope Jams are spaces where you can come and practice Shibari in a peer-to-peer setting. Switching is allowed and encouraged. In this jam we will have some rope instruction in the first hour, thereafter the floor will be open for peer-to-peer learning and having fun together. Any skill levels are welcome. If you do not have a partner(s) to attend with, you may have to self-tie or enquire with other participants to pair up. Class rope will be available for use for free on the day if you do not have your own rope.
Events start promptly at 16:00. Please DM us via Instagram if you are running late. Doors open at 15:45 and are closed at 16:05. We will be strict about this because late-coming can be very disruptive to those in the space. Pre-booking is essential (cash on the night is available by arrangement via Instagram DM). Please have your tickets ready to be scanned on arrival.
We have limited treated rope from Sudo Jute for sale and safety shears. Non-alcoholic drinks (Coke, water, tea, coffee) will also be for sale.
Come dressed however you like – comfy, sexy, sporty, fetish. As long as your booty is covered, you are welcome here.
