We’re proud to introduce Luke and Kate from Prague as facilitators for this workshop that is part of a whole weekend with this innovative couple. We have met Luke at several European rope events and find his approach to rope play refreshingly explorative, open-minded and deeply inspiring. It’s about igniting your imagination, creating stories with ropes, and going on a journey of emotions together.
A tenugui and a single rope might not look like much—but together, they’re a cheeky little power combo. In this workshop, discover just how fun and versatile a simple piece of cloth can be. Blindfold? Gag? Leash and collar? Quick tie-down? Absolutely. Tenuguis are great for body manipulation and offer objectifying possibilities—especially when layered over the face or mouth. We’ll play with the contrasts between rope and cloth, and learn how to tie (and untie) both efficiently, safely and have some fun while doing that.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
This is for people who want another handy tool for their rope playand wish to deepen self-awareness, connect with others, and enjoy returning to the basics of rope play with playfulness.
CAN I JOIN AS A BEGINNER?
Yes! This workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners looking for new inspiration.
DO I NEED A PARTNER?
No, you do not need to bring a partner for this workshop. We encourage you to switch partners and roles during the workshop and will help facilitate that in a way that feels safer and focuses on the boundaries of all participants.

ABOUT THE FACILITATORS
Luke (he/him) started his journey with rope as a rigger in 2020. From 2022 he became Joan von Brook's model and co-teacher on workshops they've been teaching since. In 2023, he joined the permanent teaching team at Subspace Studio in Prague. He thrives on experimenting with various styles and techniques in tying, drawing inspiration from the Naka-ryu style, Nicolas Arnoÿs, and Joan von Brook. Besides regular teaching of weekend workshops in Subspace Studio he was also a presenter at Prague Shibari Festival and Shibari Camp.
"For me shibari is about exploration. I love to find new ways, new paths. Shibari is often put in boxes: art, erotics, body-work, BDSM and many more. My aim is to blend these elements and shape them into something exciting. Exploration gradually becomes a craft of tying that can be refined and transformed. It's a never-ending cycle. I explore ropes because I want to create something. The tie itself isn't the end goal, rather, it acts as a pathway for expressing ourselves.
In my workshops, I love to share this approach with other participants. While each of us is responsible for our own exploration, we can grow from shared knowledge."
Kate (she/her) started doing ropes in 2020. Shortly after that, ropes quickly became a big part of her life. She is looking for deep connection and intimacy in different styles of tying. Ropes give her a feeling of freedom and opportunities to explore herself and her partner. She loves to play with a wide range of emotions which then create various scenarios and dynamics during the sessions. She is drawn to ties with a lot of trust and vulnerability where she can show her devotion. At workshops she loves to focus on models' perspective and gives great tips on how to work with body, breathing and mind during a session.
