Decorative Knots and Body harnesses for costumes and fetish-wear with Jim Duvall.

Rope and knots can be a fun fetish with out actually restricting someones movement any more than normal clothing or a great way to enhance or create a costume. You can have fun dressing your partner up or dressing yourself. Rope can be something you wear out just to show your inclination and create a fetish ensemble when you “have nothing to wear”.

This class will offer building blocks to creating sexy rope wear. You can incorporate these tools into bondage ties or use them by themselves as a fashion statement. Emphasis will be on learning some of the basics and then opening up your own creativity.

Please bring a couple of lengths of rope from 12 – 30 feet in length. You do not need a partner for this class but for some exercises you will be paired up with other people in the class.

This class is appropriate for all genders, orientations and skill levels.

When: 12PM to 3PM
Cost: $40, $35 in advance.
(No other CSPC discounts or AYCE cards applicable.)
