JD (RopeRigger)'s Workshops


Dynamic Exchange and Quick Control

In this course, JD will be teaching Western and Kinbaku rope bondage and body handling techniques that are GREAT for BDSM scenes! All ties and control moves focus on quick, functional, unquestionable compliance. Subjects covered include: the principles of escape proof bondage, mind and body submission, handling ‘bratty’ and squirmy bottoms, the concepts of ‘pre-action’ versus ‘reaction’ based dominance, the creation of a ‘safe container', the mindset of dominance, and (of course) lots of firm, functional ties!

No previous tying experience necessary. All shapes, sizes, genders, and personal identities are welcome.

What to Bring:

* Approximately 20 to 30 feet of 6 mm Hemp, Jute, or 3/8-inch Solid Braid Nylon.

* Instructor will show how to connect shorter hanks of rope, if longer lengths aren’t available.


Hip Basket Suspension System

Learn how to utilize the Hip Basket Suspension System, a dynamic tying system that allows movement and control like no other suspension technique, before! Utilizing both a seated and tabletop rigging set up, the techniques shown focus on the physics of the human body, skillful and sustainable body support, and suspending people of all shapes, sizes, and comfort levels.
