If you expect to learn how to tie chairs at this workshop, you would be disappointed. You will learn how to tie your partner to a chair and how to be creative with it. Chairs are great for their stability, shape, and their many different options for tie-offs and positions. Moreover, everyone has a chair at home. We will explain some basic techniques for tying your partner to a chair and help you discover creative positions for play, sex, etc. In the end, we also play with few predicaments. About Soptik Z: I am a bondage teacher and event organizer. I created my first educational website with information on rope bondage in 2000. After ten years of self-education, I met Kinoko Hajime who became my first teacher of Japanese bondage. Afterwards, my tying was shaped by Osada Steve and Kanna; however, Kinoko Ryu is still my first choice for most of my rope partners. A year later, I started teaching regular bondage workshops and have kept this hobby till today. In the meantime, I met two other teachers who influenced me greatly. The first was Yoroi Nicolas who taught me movement, intimacy, and simplicity in ropes. The second and the most influential was Riccardo Wildties. He introduced me to Naka Ryu. The more I study with Riccardo and Naka Akira, the more I fall in love with this style. TES Members $5 Students & Military with ID $10 Reciprocal Groups $10 Non-Members $20 Cash Only…
