March is another good month for rope in Seattle, with tons of fun events and plenty of classes for all skill levels.
On the education front, two of the usual suspects have classes from their regular monthly series in March:
On Saturday 3/16, Shibari Shawn is teaching Sensual Rope Bondage, one of 6 classes in his basic bondage series. Shawn’s a great instructor and is particularly good at bringing sensual energy to rope.
On Saturday 3/9, Full Circle Kink is teaching Bondage for Immobilization, part of their four class beginners series. Immobilization is a fun class with some useful ties that tend not to get taught in most shibari classes.
The last Winter Rope Jam of the year is on Tuesday 3/12. This is a fantastic event and a great way to meet people and get connected to other bondage enthusiasts.
Rope in Seattle is updated weekly and is available via the free web, email, RSS, and Google Calendar.
