What to bring: a notepad and pen/pencil, rope if you have it (some loaner rope will be available), a pair of safety scissors; wear comfortable clothes if you plan to tie or be tied
The Rope Lab is an inclusive and beginner-friendly space to learn and practice rope. We emphasize community, safety, and negotiation. If you don’t have or want a partner or are new to rope, it might be a great occasion to try self-tying. Rope education is important for everyone and self-tying is a great way to get to know your body in rope! Almost all of our ties can be self-tied, and we provide specific instructions so everyone can follow along. Mats are provided for people interested in sitting and tying on the floor. There are also sofas and chairs available. Seating is first-come, first-served, so arrive on time!
Community expectations and norms:
Always ask before touching anyone or anything that doesn’t belong to you
Keep side-conversations and noise to a minimum during instruction
Own your own learning: Ask questions, come close to see the things, and practice within your skill level.
