December 14, 2021 @ 7:00 PM - 10:00 PM ONLINE – Be-Weave Me, I Don’t Need a Knot! with CTW No apologies for the pun, but be-weave it or not - learning to weave can be a great introduction to rope bondage. Weave patterns create the basis for many aesthetic and functional harnesses. And no knots are required! Attendees of this introductory rope class will learn to weave patterns for hand bondage, foot bondage, and a hip harness. Viewers should have two to three standard lengths of rope (26-30 feet) and one half length of rope (13-15 feet) to tie along, plus have an emergency cutting tool on hand. Self-tiers are recommended to have a spotter or emergency exit plan in place. CTW (she/her) is your average queer, ENM Millenial bondage kinkster. She specializes in rope and chain bondage, and she enjoys creating memorable and safe first rope suspension experiences, making her masochistic bottoms scream and giggle and swear in mean suspensions, and working with her main romantic partner on developing and teaching chain bondage techniques. Together they have a book coming out soon on chain bondage for the ground. (She is credited as Cecilia T. Winters.) She has previously presented in person for Fem Rope Hampton Roads, Williamsburg Rope Bite, Dark Odyssey, NARIX, NoVa Events, and The Space - Wichita, and virtually for TES Tuesdays and Sadovarius (Czech Rep.).

These are words we're familiar with hearing, but how do we use their concepts in play? In this class we'll discuss fear, 4 response types to it, and how we can feed off that exchange to create scenes that will have everyone saying "oh hell no!" and "yes, more please" at the same time. We'll also cover how to ensure that your fun and games don't cross the line into abuse and psychological trauma. Ignixia is an internationally renowned professional kink educator and leather-woman who was the owner and sole-operator of an award-winning leather business designed around creating custom, quality leather goods that are affordable to all.
