Bristol Rope Space (POC friendly)

Mission Statement

Bristol Rope Space aims to provide a safe inclusive environment for all people to access rope education and to practice their rope skills. The focus is on building fundamental skills and the development of safe, sane and consensual rope practice. This is a space to develop self awareness and express ourselves in rope in its many forms, in accordance with the rules. Bristol Rope Space welcomes people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, people with visible or hidden disabilities and anyone otherwise marginalised from society.

The evening will consist of a class on the fundamentals of rope play, a Q&A, followed by a demonstration of a popular tie, and time to practice. Classes take place in a well lit studio space near Central Bristol, that is accessible and well resourced. Details shared of precise location is in the ticketing platform.

There is an opportunity to buy discounted copies of my books Living Rope, The Kink Embrace, When She Leads, and New Bonds at my events.
