Sensual Bondage with Devil Mask Studio @ fwb clubhouse

Purchase tickets

This class is for the people who linger. Who notice. Who care about how something feels as much as how it looks. If you’re drawn to connection, softness, and the quiet intensity of shared focus, this space is for you.

We’ll explore rope as a way to deepen connection with yourself and your partner through touch, pacing, breath, and focus. This is a practice for those who are curious about sensation, who enjoy (or want to explore) sensory play, and who are willing to show up with a little more honesty and vulnerability.

We’ll move slowly, keep things simple, and discover what unfolds when we stop rushing and start listening.

This workshop is designed for people to participate with a partner. Please come with someone, or come ready to participate with someone in class.

In this workshop, you’ll: Use rope as a tool for connection, not just structure Build awareness of your own body and your partner’s responses Explore pacing, anticipation, and the emotional texture of a scene Practice attention and attunement - responding in real time to yourself or your partner

Come as you are: curious, thoughtful, a little unsure, or already in love with sensation. This is a room for people who value kindness, communication, and being seen.

You Should Know:

No prior rope experience required. All levels welcome.

You Should Bring:

1–2 lengths of rope (or borrow ours) A partner (or come solo to deepen your self-tying practice) Comfortable clothing you can move and relax in

Nora Last (they/them) is a queer switch, cheesemonger emeritus, and the Big Boss of Devil Mask Studio. You’ll most frequently see them behind the desk, running registration from our nerve center. Nora brings over a decade of experience to the studio, having taught across North America about the intersections of rope, embodiment, neurodiversity, and kink. Their work has been strongly shaped by collaboration with a number of educators, most importantly Ojipan, GoodMostTimes, and Hedwig. Outside of the studio, Nora possesses a deep appreciation for life’s small pleasures. When not guiding transformative workshops or honing their rope skills, they indulge in the art of crafting intricate cocktails and curating exquisite cheese boards. These personal interests underscore their belief that the purpose of life is to find delight in its many forms.

Melissa (she/her) AKA goodmosttimes started her rope education, as a bottom, in late 2011. She has since been expanding her knowledge as a switch and loves to share new techniques from both sides of a tie. Fortunate to be based in Los Angeles, CA, she has happily been part of the Devil Mask Society since its inception in 2012. She is now one of the owners and lead instructors at Devil Mask Studio in Downtown Los Angeles alongside her romantic and business partners, Nora (Ordinals) and Andrew (Ojipan).
