Solo & Switching Shibari workshop [SOLD OUT]

  • 84 Kanaalweg Utrecht, UT, 3533 HA Netherlands (map)

Solo & Switching Shibari workshop

This workshop is for you when:

  • You don't have a rope partner, and would like to learn how to tie solo.

  • You are a duo/couple and you both want to learn to tie, so you can switch roles when playing at home.

  • You want to get tied, but first want to learn the basics and safety. So you can assess your playpartner's skills.

  • You get tied already, but also want to understand the technique and get more insight into safety.

  • You want to tie yourself up, just for the fun of it!


Technical basics

​​​Japanese bondage (shibari) is beautiful to see and intense to experience. During this workshop, Butterfly will teach you the basics of shibari technique. You will be tying on your own body to practice. Second half of the workshop you can choose to tie yourself or another person (whatever feels good).

​You will lay the groundwork for your own practice and development, to play with rope. Looking at the complete basics, like:

  • material

  • safety

  • anatomy

  • basics knots


This workshop is suitable if you have never (been) tied before.

The first half of the workshop, you’ll learn the basics knots and frictions by tying your own body. The second half of the workshop you can either practice tying and getting tied with another participant, or continue practicing on your own body. Both are very beneficial to your learning process.


Bondage skills

You’ll learn a number of basic knots and ties with which you can experiment and combine endlessly.

We look at which materials are suitable: which types of rope, possible accessories that come in handy.

Butterfly discusses anatomy and safety: what risks should you avoid, what do you pay attention to during your scene, what signals from the body should you take seriously?
