Shinless Futomomos by Dolph & SickDucks

This event is an international one and will be held in English.

Workshop

Over Dolfs years of tying he encountered countless tying partners who had persistent shinpain in futomomo and weren't able to sustain them. Fem was initially able to be in futomomo when she started tying but has overtime lost the ability to be in them. Therefore they started labbing and experimenting with alternatives. After a period of trial and error they've found a suitable option that avoids the shin and functions like a regular futomomo. This pattern will be the focus of this workshop as well as futomomo troubleshooting and more traditional adaptations of leg harnesses.
Since we gonna tie this class on a bamboo, it is essential for everyone to safely secure their uplines on the bamboo. If you are not familiar with tying on bamboo, Dolph and Fem have kindly offered to conduct a 30-minute walkthrough on how to secure close-offs before the actual class begins. Please let us know in advance if you would like to participate by selecting the option during your booking process.

Teacher

Somewhere in early 2015 Dolph (NL) started to tie. He had always been drawn to rope as a versatile tool. And exactly this versatility was what ultimately fascinated him about rope bondage as well. Rope became a tool of self expression, fulfilling different needs during different periods in his life. It gave him new means of connection to other people. When you tie with somebody, you tend to get to know them in a different way. The technical aspects of how rope bondage, and how it affects the body are a constant fascination. As he is firm believer that everything worth doing is worth doing right, he continues to seek improvement of his tying. Dolph's style is best described as a mix between violent and romantic.

SickDucks (NL) came in contact with rope through her work as a model for photography. Although she always had a fascination for kink, her first experiences with rope bondage were mostly focused on creating strong aesthetic images. Currently, her main interests in rope is rope as a means of connection. She likes to be in challenging ties, as part to help her discover what her body is capable of. She has also become invaluable in streamlining their teaching and keeping Dolph's perfectionistic tendency's in check. Her style of bottoming can be described as assertive and with sensual undertones. She is a strong non-verbal communicator and adds her own colour and drama to a rope session.
