Description
Microbondage: tying fingers, faces, and toes
This class explores the delicate art of tying faces, fingers, and toes with a focus on safety, stability, and precision. These intricate areas require special attention, and we’ll cover essential techniques to minimize risk while maximizing control and aesthetic impact. Through hands-on practice, you’ll learn how to create secure yet comfortable ties, adapt tension for different body parts, and troubleshoot common challenges. Whether you’re looking to add expressive detail to your rope or refine your handling of sensitive areas, this class will give you the tools to tie with confidence and care.

Instructor Bios:
Kasm and Anoxia have been partners in life and in rope since 2018; tying, teaching, and performing together. They have presented in classes and intensives across the US, as well as at large kink conferences like Ropecraft, Kinkfest, Tethered Together, and Desert Bound.
Anoxia (they/them) is a Chicago-based rope educator and performer with over a decade of dedicated practice in primarily Japanese-style rope bondage. They've trained extensively with instructors across North America, Europe, and Japan, drawing on a range of traditions to shape their own teaching approach. As an educator, Anoxia teaches from both sides, covering suspension concepts and anatomy alongside the language of emotional skills and collaborative scene-making. In play, their rope tends toward intense, creative, and emotionally charged scenes, with strong currents of sadomasochism. Anoxia now works in rope full-time, touring to teach workshops, offering private instruction, and working at Shibari Study. They're also active in event organizing, helping run conferences and tours in Chicago and at venues across the US and Canada.
Kasm (they/them) is a queer, kinky switch and self-tier who started teaching in 2018. In the classroom they prioritize personalized instruction and building an environment that is safe to flail in. In their personal practice they enjoy exploring intimacies and modes of play through the lens of rope bondage, with a focus on movement driven scenes and sadomasochistic play. They recently relocated to Chicago after coming up in the Seattle scene. They can be found as KasmOfRope on fetlife, and kasm.of.ropes on instagram.
