Ready to take your rope to the next level?

In this workshop, Rorpheus breaks down how form and friction shape your ties—literally. Learn how placement, directional tension, and well-anchored frictions are the foundation of durable, beautiful, and functional bondage.

Using a custom variation of the classic futomomo tie, this class explores what makes a harness strong, sensual, or escape-proof. You’ll leave with a better understanding of how structure empowers creativity, and how your rope can communicate intention as much as it provides restraint.

💫 What You’ll Explore:

🪢 Friction Fundamentals: Learn how and where to anchor your rope, and what makes a friction reliable.

🔗 Form that Follows Function: Discover how rope placement influences body comfort, support, and restriction.

🌀 Stacking & Structure: Build off your futo to create layered or modular designs for floor-based or partial suspension play.

🧠 Rope Logic & Scene Intent: Understand how structure supports purpose—whether your tie is about restraint, sensation, control, or aesthetics.

🤸 Bottoming Awareness: Learn how to feel into rope structure, offer feedback, and stay engaged in a scene.

🎯 Workshop Format:

1. Guided instruction and demos with Rorpheus
2. Solo and partnered practice (bring a partner or come solo)
3. Feedback and troubleshooting support from the instructor
4. Open-level: beginners welcome, intermediate riggers encouraged

🧶 Jam Session: “Friction Playground” (10:00–11:45 PM)

Put your rope to the test in a playful, supportive jam! Try out the frictions, placements, and tension styles we covered earlier—or remix them into something all your own. Whether you’re tweaking your Futo, improvising a new flow, or inviting your partner into a dynamic scene, this is your space to explore.

We’ll have light prompts for anyone who wants inspiration, and plenty of time to geek out, troubleshoot, or get curious about how form and friction shape attunement.

🎲 Jam Game: “Friction Duel”

A friendly creative challenge for rope nerds and playful minds!

1. Form Before Function – Design the most visually stunning harness using what you learned. Bonus points for symmetry, tension, and elegance.
2. Function Over Form – Now, go practical. Build a highly functional, supportive tie—even if it looks wild. Can it hold up under squirming? Is your friction doing the work?
3. Remix the Futo – Use what you learned in the workshop and remix the futomomo tie into something custom. Stack, rotate, adapt—then share what inspired your choices.

We’ll close the night with a casual group reflection to share what we discovered, celebrated, or want to try next time.
