Chest Harness Fundamentals workshop

Description: In this workshop, participants will learn how to tie (and/or how to be tied) in sustainable, functional rope chest harnesses from experienced rope/shibari practitioners in an inclusive, body-positive environment. Workshop will include demonstrations, step-by-step hands-on tying instruction, opportunities for individual feedback, and information about risks and safety issues.

Skill/Experience Level: An intro rope class (such as Coil & Cord's Beginner Rope Intensive workshop or an equivalent workshop) is very helpful as background for this class Knowing some intro rope skills, such as a square knot, a Somerville bowline single-column tie, and a half-hitch are helpful for keeping up in this class -- but all experience levels are welcome to attend and participate!Knowing some intro rope skills, such as a square knot, a Somerville bowline single-column tie, and a half-hitch are helpful for keeping up in the class.
