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

What others say about this workshop:
Marco (43): “The 'Bondage basics' workshop was the first time I ever tried bondage. From the first minute onward, I felt Butterfly's passion for bondage and her drive to convey this passion to others. Her way of teaching is very hands-on. First she demonstrated, after which we could practice ourselves. We recieved lots of personal tips while doing so. This method was very pleasant, because it gave me a lot of time to practice and try out, so I could learn a lot in a short amount of time. Butterfly is the most inspiring when she talks about "connective bondage". For her, the basis of bondage is not the knots and ties but the intimacy and connection through the rope. After she demonstrated her style of tying, you know what you want to do when you grow up: play with rope. A lot."
