This class will spend an hour learning the basics of bondage, beginning with a short introduction followed by three techniques that are essential to doing anything with rope.
Those three techniques will then be put into practice while instruction is given on how to tie a single column and a double column.
Once the single and double column instruction is complete, an additional hour is reserved to take this knowledge and explore its maximum potential. Participants are welcome to freely tie themselves or their partner using these techniques until there is no more rope left.
Afterwards, there will be time to take photos if you’d like, and then everyone will untie.
Selkie Skins is a rigger, self tie-er, and bottom who has been tying for five years. Their training includes Devil Mask Studio, one-on-one classes with Kinoko-san, DK Blackfish, and Shay Tiziano, as well as global travel to explore rope with a wide range of riggers.
Their journey began with decorative rope, self-guided exploration in Austin, Texas, and a deep dive into every available resource, from books to online classes such as Shibari Study. After moving to Los Angeles in 2023, their knowledge and skill set expanded rapidly.
In Los Angeles, Selkie Skins has worked over 50 events in just two years, ranging from private personal sessions to large-scale events such as Bondage Ball and Torture Garden.
This dedication to the craft has earned Selkie Skins the title of a professional female rigger you can trust to guide you through the rope process from both an educational and experiential perspective. It is an honor for them to represent this craft.
